Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The term prototype refers to a mental image or schema that serves as the best example of a certain category. In this case, the Belgian students' prototypical image of an Asian face influenced their memory recall of the ethnically blended face as being more similar to that prototype. The other options (algorithm, heuristic, fixation) do not accurately describe this phenomenon.
