Inductive reasoning features – UGC NET Question

Only D is wrong. Induction moves from instances to a generalisation and supports conclusions probabilistically. A single genuine counterexample shows a universal generalisation was overstated. Recognising induction helps judge strength. Since inductive arguments do not guarantee their conclusions, D is false.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because A is true; it wrongly labels A as wrong along with D.

Option B:
Option B is correct because D is the only incorrect statement; induction never guarantees truth with certainty.

Option C:
Option C is incorrect because C is true; adding it to the wrong set is a misclassification.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because B and E are true; treating them as wrong is incorrect.
