Correct answer: (B) Inductive reasoning
Explanation
Moving from a particular statement to a universal conclusion is inductive reasoning.

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.
