Solution

The correct option is c. Both the statements are true.

Inductive reasoning involves making broad generalizations from specific observations. The conclusions reached through inductive reasoning are plausible and often appear as theories.

Deductive reasoning, on the other hand, starts with a general statement or hypothesis and examines the possibilities to reach a specific, logical conclusion. If the premises are true, then the conclusion is guaranteed to be true.
