Don wants to get an early start on his social studies semester project. The teacher has assigned the students to choose and research a societal issue of concern to them. Students must develop a specific concern, frame hypotheses addressing the reasons behind the problem, and search for scientific research to support their assertions. What type of project is Don working on?

inductive reasoning

Explanation:

Inductive reasoning is the term used to describe situations where we are able to reach conclusions on a given subject through observation and interpretation of everyday situations in our social environment that fit that subject.

We can say that Dom is involved in an inductive reasoning project, because this project requires him to observe a social issue that interests him and through that observation, make an interpretation on issues of concern about that subject, formulate hypotheses about why this happens and research scientific data to justify all the information he will defend.
