The correct answer is B. Inductive reasoning involves answering questions by analyzing specific observations and using them to come to a more general understanding. It is a logical process in which you make conclusions or predictions based on patterns, trends, or evidence that you have observed. Inductive reasoning does not rely on general theories or principles to make predictions about more specific situations (A), nor does it involve doubting or not accepting conclusions until they have been tested and verified (C). It is also not about answering questions based on what can be perceived by the senses (D).
