Answer 1

Answer: B.

Explanation:

I'm basing my answer on the fact of definitions.

DIRECT PROOF:

A direct proof assumes that the hypothesis of a conjecture is true, then uses logical deductions to prove why its conclusion is true

INDIRECT PROOF:

An indirect proof relies on contradictions to prove a given conjecture, it assumes the conjecture is wrong until it runs into a contradiction that proves it as true.

Based on this

B. An indirect proof begins by assuming that the opposite of what you are trying to prove is true.
