Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Deductive reasoning, when correctly applied, leads to certain conclusions because it starts with general principles or premises to reach a specific conclusion. Inductive reasoning, on the other hand, makes broad generalizations from specific observations, leading to probabilistic conclusions that are not guaranteed to be true in all cases.
