Answer 2

The answer is inductive reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning is reasoning where the premises support the conclusion. The conclusion is the hypothesis, or probable. This means that the conclusion is the part of reasoning that inductive reasoning is trying to prove. Inductive reasoning is also referred to as 'cause and effect reasoning' or 'bottom-up reasoning' because it seeks to prove a conclusion first. This is usually derived from specific instances to develop a general conclusion.

Here we read the use of an if-sentence, a conditional sentence which can be used to introduce cause and effect.
