The correct answer is c) deductive reasoning.
Deductive reasoning is a logical process where you start with a general rule or premise and use it to draw a specific conclusion. In this scenario, the general rule is that if the weather report predicts more than 20cm of snow in the mountains, then Gunther will plan a ski trip. The specific information is that tonight the weather channel predicts 30cm of snow in the mountains. By applying deductive reasoning, we can conclude that Gunther will plan a ski trip because the predicted snowfall exceeds the threshold of 20cm mentioned in the initial premise.
