Answer: ABDUCTIVE REASONING.
Explanation: Abductive reasoning can be simply defined as the process of determining "plausibility" based on a set of evidence.
Plausibility here can be said to be an act/a fact that is seemingly or apparently valid, likely, or acceptable.
Inference is a truth or proposition drawn from another which is admitted or supposed to be true.
An inference to the best explanation is therefore known as an Abductive reasoning.
