Answer 1

The correct answer is B. the type of reasoning that uses several observations or draws upon patterns to form a conclusion.

Explanation:

I am pretty sure that this is the correct answer choice; it is what I deducted (lol) from the definition. This is the definition so you can see it for yourself:

Deductive reasoning, also deductive logic, is the process of reasoning from one or more statements to reach a logically certain conclusion. Deductive reasoning goes in the same direction as that of the conditionals, and links premises with conclusions.
