Answer:

C. April is a rainy month where I live, so it will probably rain a lot in April.

Step-by-step explanation:

Inductive reasoning is a form of logical thinking in which several hypotheses, all believed true or found true most of the time, so they are integrated to achieve a particular conclusion. As a consequence, because April is a rainy month, then the logical rational conclusion is that it will rain a lot in April.
