Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are missing. The options are the following:

a) Inductive

b) Deductive

And the correct answer is the option B: Deductive.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, the term of "Deductive Reasoning", in the logic field, refers to the process that involves the reasoning from one or more statements (that are called premises) with the main purpose of reaching to a conclusion that is drawn from those premises in first place. So therefore that the arguement is best considered to be a deductive one due to the fact that the conclusion of Eric driving a Mercedes because is a vice-president and all the other vice-presidents do it is logically deducted from those facts (premises).
