Answer

Brief Explanations:

A conjecture is an unproven statement based on observations. Inductive reasoning is making generalizations based on specific observations. Elena made a statement (conjecture) based on the observed pattern of black - red - black - red card draws, which is an example of inductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning starts from general principles to specific conclusions, which is not the case here. A counterexample is an example that disproves a statement. An example is just an instance, and this is more than just a simple example as it involves a prediction.

Answer:

a. a conjecture c. inductive reasoning
