Option D
Explanation:
Managing day to day work mostly needs a good decision making ability which comes from right inference of the situation. Inference is a process through which a conclusion is made on basis of evidence, reasoning, observation, experience and background knowledge. Hence, thinking the cup being hot to touch by seeing the steam is an inference that might have came from previous exposure of touching it.
