ASupport and entail a conclusion

BNot support but entail a conclusion

CNeither support nor entail a conclusion

DSupport a conclusion without entailing it ✓ Correct

Correct answer: (D) Support a conclusion without entailing it

Explanation

Inductive logic studies how a premise may support a conclusion without entailing it.

In deduction true premises guarantee, that is entail, the conclusion.

In induction the premises only raise the probability of the conclusion.

The conclusion can still be false while the premises are true.

So induction gives support short of entailment.
