Explanation:

The root of "educate" is Latin ducere meaning "to lead".

• "Conduct" uses ducere: "con-" (together) + ducere = lead together.
• "Deduction" uses ducere: "de-" (down) + ducere = lead down/to derive.

Other words use roots like duo (two) or aedificare (to build) which do not match.

Answer:

B. conduct, D. deduction
