Jaylah Roberts · Answer 1

The answer is a.

Explanation:

This is a clear example of deductive reasoning. I think, "If many trees lose their leaves due to decreasing day length," then I deduce that Ginko trees lose their leaves for the same reason. I make an association. This is not an experiment, a law of nature, a hypothesis or a theory.
