Deductive reasoning is one that necessarily follows, not one that likely follows (this would be an inductive reasoning).
Here the important information is that all squares are also parallellograms, which means that they also necesarily have all the properties of the parallelogram - the correct answer is D.
The only difference is: If you multiply or divide both sides of an equation by the same negative number, the equation remains the same, but If you multiply or divide both sides of an inequality by the same negative number, the inequality reverses.
