In the semantic network model, concepts are organized in a network-like structure where related concepts are connected by links. The closer two concepts are in the network, the shorter the distance between them and the faster the response time. In this case, both A and B are true statements, but B is more closely linked to the concept of salmon as it specifies the type of animal that salmon is. C is also true, but it is not related to the concept of salmon, so it would take longer to process. Therefore, answering "true" to sentence B would require the least amount of time.
