A prototype is the best answer because it refers to a typical or ideal example of a concept. In this case, a cow is a more typical or ideal example of a mammal than a mouse, so people are able to identify it more quickly as a mammal. The other answer options (hierarchy, heuristic, and algorithm) do not accurately describe why people would be able to identify a cow as a mammal more quickly than a mouse.
