    Answer: (B) Prototype

    Explanation:

    Prototype involves all the preexisting ideas that we have learnt or copied into our mind we are able then to relate the current information by retrieving those preexisting ideas and matching them with the current situation inorder to resolve it.

    Mary already knows what a dog is and because she has this information stored in her long term memory she is able to retrieve it and use it to define these types of dogs.
