Option 1 : Inductive

Inductive reasoning is a type of argument in which the premises are considered as providing evidence for the conclusion's truth.

Inductive reasoning is defined as the deduction of general principles from specific observations.
Inductive reasoning starts with particular and limited observations and then moves on to a generalised conclusion that is likely but not certain based on the evidence.
Inductive reasoning advances from the specific to the universal.
For example,
- The barrel contains 100 apples
- Three apples selected at random were found to be ripe.
- Therefore probably all 100 apples are ripe.
In this example, a conclusion is drawn from the specific observation which is "three apples selected at random were found to be ripe"
The conclusion "Therefore probably all 100 apples are ripe" is the generalised conclusion from the specific observation.

Thus, Inductive

Deductive reasoning is that the conclusion is definitely true based on the premises' logic.
Deductive reasoning is a method of proving that a conclusion is correct by using universally recognised truths
