Cognitive psychologists differentiate between two types of spatial representation: egocentric and allocentric. Egocentric representation refers to representing space in relation to oneself and one's own body. Allocentric representation, on the other hand, refers to representing space without any particular viewpoint, as an objective and viewer-independent space. Therefore, choice C is the best answer as it refers to these two types of spatial representation. Choice A is not entirely accurate, as subjective representation could refer to either egocentric or allocentric representation depending on the context. Choice B is not the best answer, as both types of spatial representation can be represented in 2D or 3D. Choice D is also not entirely accurate, as viewer-specific representation can refer to egocentric or allocentric representation depending on whether the viewpoint is fixed on the viewer or not.
