a. reasoning by sign

c. reasoning by analogy
d. deductive reasoning

b. inductive reasoning

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning

In inductive reasoning a person makes a broad general statement or conclusion based on particular observed Information.

One has the data and they draw their conclusion from that data, they make generalization from specific examples without complete certainty for example Dane knows five people who had experience difficulties with a certain appliances and she generalized then that all appliances of that brand have the same issues. Even though the statements by her friends may be true but it doesn't mean that her conclusion is also true it like for example when we see an old grandfather who is bald and then make an inference that all grandfathers are bald , it may be true that the grandfather we saw is bald but that may not be true for all grandfathers.

every society, in order to meet the needs of it's people, has to answer three basic questions:

- what should we produce?

- how should we produce it?

- for whom should we produce it?

this questions must be answered in order to, option b, aid in production decisions.

every country can't produce everything, no matter how rich their land is. it may be a matter of technology, resources or geographical conditions. so, these three questions must be resolved in order to get the most of the production of each land.

hope this !
