If we were writing an inductive proof, which of the following shows the basis step for proving: if n is a positive integer, then P(n) = 12 +2²+...+ n² = n(n + 1)(2n + 1) 6 O Assume that P(k+ 1) is true for an arbitrary positive integer k, that is: (k+1)(k+1+1)(2(k+1)+1) P(n) = 12 +2²+...+k² + (k+ 1)² = 6 P(k) is true, because k(k+ 1)(2k + 1) 6 P(1) is true, because 1 = 1(1+1)(2(1)+1) 6 = k for an arbitrary positive integer k O Assume that P(k) is true for an arbitrary positive integer k, that is: k(k+ 1)(2k+1) 6 P(K) = 12 +2²+...+k² =
