The correct answer is C. I will not see a seagull near my home today.

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning refers to the process of drawing a specific conclusion based on a broader and general premise or premises. This differs from inductive reasoning because in inductive reasoning a specific conclusion leads to a more general statement. This implies in the case of the premise "There are no seagulls living in my state" one conclusion that is based on deductive reasoning needs to address the same issue of the lack of seagulls in the state but in a more specific way and therefore the conclusion based on deductive reasoning is " I will not see a seagull near my home today".
