With theuse of which of the following, we reason from a generalization to aspecific conclusion?

a - Analogy

b - Logic

c - Induction

d - Deduction

d-Deduction

Explanation:

Deduction

In deductive inference, we maintain a hypothesis and we predict its implications on the basis of it. That is, we predict what the results should be if the theory were right. We go from the general theory to the particular observations.

Induction

We're going from the specific to the general inductive inference. We make a lot of observations, discern a pattern, generalize and infer an explanation or theory.

Analogy

An analogy is a comparison between two objects or object systems, highlighting the respects in which they are considered to be similar.

Logic

Science dealing with the principles and criteria of validity of inference and demonstration that is science of formal rules of reasoning.
