The finding suggests that people store information in a hierarchical manner, where more specific concepts (cocker spaniels) are nested within more general concepts (dogs). This is consistent with the idea of a semantic network or a cognitive hierarchy, which suggests that concepts are organized in a way that reflects their relationships to each other. The finding does not necessarily indicate that people always use algorithms or form artificial concepts, so options B and C are not supported by the evidence.
