Inductive reasoning presupposes
Answer: C
Inductive reasoning presupposes uniformity in human nature.
Induction moves from observed cases to a general conclusion. This is justified only if what holds in the cases observed holds in the cases not observed, which assumes that nature, including human nature, behaves uniformly.
Unity, integrity and harmony are not the assumptions that make the leap from observed to unobserved cases acceptable.
The assumption is why induction gives probable and not certain conclusions: a single exception in the unobserved cases can still overturn a general statement.
