Answer:

Explanation:

It's D.

A theorem is true by some sort of mathematical logic.

It is not a definition. Not C

It is not in the end true because of inductive reasoning (a theorem may lend itself to inductive reasoning, but it must be proved.) Not A

It certainly not assumed to be true without proof. Not B
