Suppose that P is the statement "n + 1 = n + 2". What is wrong with the following proof that the statement P is true for all non negative integers n?You assume that P(k) is true for some positive integer k, that is, that k+1 = k+2. Then you add 1 to both sides of this equation to obtain k+2 = k+3; therefore P(k+1) is true. By the principle of mathematical induction P is true for all non-negative integers n.

The proof is incorrect because you cannot add one to both sides of the equation in the inductive step
There is nothing wrong with this proof
The proof is incorrect because there is no basis step Correct
The proof is incorrect because the statement used in the inductive hypothesis is incorrect
