The theory developed by Wegener that the continents of the Earth were once a part of a single big super-continent is based on his observations that these continents fir together as a part of the jig-saw puzzle. And these observed continents have similar flora and fauna along with similar rock formations. Such a derivation of theory from observations is an inductive reasoning.

Hence, the answer is 'inductive reasoning'.

This study lacks generalizability.
Generalizability is an academic term and describes the process of extending research findings and observations from a study on a sample population to a larger and more diverse population. The larger the sample population, the easier will be to generalize the results to the wider population. In this example, Dr Kirch used a sampling technique called convenience sampling, which involves the selection of the most available and proximate subjects. However, there is sampling bias since the sampling population is not representative of the entire population and therefore the study can not speak for the entire population.
