Deductive reasoning-

  • A.Is rarely applied in science
  • B.Determines principles from observations
  • C.Applies general principles to predict or explain specific results
  • D.Uses specific observations to draw more general conclusions

Answer: C

Deductive reasoning applies general principles to predict or explain specific cases.

Its conclusion follows necessarily from its premises: if the general rule is true, the particular consequence must be. Inductive reasoning runs the other way, from particular observations to a general rule.
