D. Licorice is black. My cat is black. Therefore, my cat is licorice

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning is a method that starts with observation and moves backwards towards generalisations and theories. The conclusion is not logical.

So, saying that licorice is black, and my cat is also black, therefore my cat is licorice is a good example of inductive reasoning because the conclusion is not logical, and it is based on generalisation which is not true.
