Correct answer: (B) Inductive reasoning — Going from the particular to the universal is inductive reasoning, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★Going from the particular to the universal is inductive reasoning, so that is the answer.
★Induction generalises from particular observed cases to a universal conclusion.
★This particular-to-general direction is its defining mark.
★Deduction runs the other way, from the universal to the particular.
★So starting particular and ending universal is induction.
★So the answer is inductive reasoning.
