The Third Rule for Evaluating Inductive Generalizations Is to Consider

The third rule for evaluating inductive generalizations is to consider their initial plausibility.How is this rule used to evaluate the strength of arguments by analogy?

A) We consider the plausibility of the conclusion of the argument by analogy.
B) We consider the plausibility of the conclusion of the inductive step.
C) We consider whether or not the deductive step is valid.
D) We consider whether or not the inductive step is valid.
E) It cannot be used since inductive generalization has no relevance to arguments by analogy.
