Correct option is D
A. Inductive reasoning → III. Inferring general principles or rules from specific facts
B. Deductive reasoning → I. Inferring specific instances from general principles or rules
C. Heuristics → II. Cognitive short-cuts that provide adequately accurate inferences for most of the time
D. Algorithm → IV. A procedure that consists of a series of steps to solve a problem
Information Booster:
-Inductive reasoning involves drawing broad conclusions from specific observations (e.g., "The sun has risen every morning; therefore, it will rise tomorrow morning").
-Deductive reasoning applies general rules to specific cases to reach logically certain conclusions (e.g., "All humans are mortal. Socrates is a human. Therefore, Socrates is mortal").
-Heuristics are mental shortcuts that simplify decision-making, though they may not always be precise (e.g., using a "rule of thumb").
-Algorithms are step-by-step procedures guaranteed to produce a correct solution if followed correctly (e.g., a mathematical formula).
