Answer:

(D) starts with a hypothesis from which she deduces logical, testable inferences

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning is a type of reasoning which moves from generalities to specific conclusions.

The biggest issue with this kind of reasoning is that the statements upon which the conclusion is drawn need to be true. If they aren't, the conclusion won't be true.

The first step in this reasoning is to start with a hypothesis and move along with it by deducing logical inferences until we reach specific conclusions.

In this example, Kia uses hypothetic-deductive reasoning, thus, when faced with a problem, Kia will most likely start with the first step which will be to start with a hypothesis from which she will deduce logical testable inferences.
