Answer: B
The abstract, idealized representation of an average or typical member of a category is a prototype.
In the study of concepts, a prototype is the best or most typical example that stands for the whole category, for instance a robin standing for 'bird'. New objects are judged by how closely they resemble it.
An exemplar is a stored memory of one actual member of the category, not an abstract average. A concept is the general category idea itself, and a schema is an organised body of knowledge about a topic or situation, so neither names the abstract typical member.
