Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option c, Scientists now gathered information and facts before creating a theory.

Explanation:

In a deductive reasoning usually scientist state additional true facts about a fact already existing and accepted by the mass/society. While in an inductive reasoning facts and data’s are gathered to prove any concept.  

An example of deductive thinking is “God exists every where”. This has no logical backing but since everyone accepts it , it is considered as true without any appropriate facts and figures.  Any other fact about God will also be considered as true while in an inductive reasoning any statement must be backed by its logical derivatives.

Scientists now gathered information and facts before creating a theory.
