Identify the process in which something fits our prototype for that particular concept or class.
Answer: D
Representativeness heuristic is the process in which something is judged to belong to a category because it fits our prototype of it. Means-end analysis is a problem-solving strategy, availability heuristic judges likelihood by how easily examples come to mind, and an algorithm is a step-by-step rule that guarantees a solution. The representativeness heuristic judges the probability that something belongs to a category by how closely it resembles the typical member, and it can lead to errors when base rates are ignored.
