Correct answer: (B) Inductive reasoning
Explanation

Moving from a particular statement to a universal conclusion is inductive reasoning.

Deduction runs the other way, from general premises to a particular or narrower conclusion.

Induction generalises from specific observed cases to a universal claim.

The conclusion here reaches beyond the particular evidence given.

Such particular-to-universal inference is the mark of induction.
