Explanation:

A semantic network is a mental model that represents concepts and their relationships. Seeing doughnuts (a concept) in the bakery made Karen think of frosting for her cupcakes (related concept), which is an example of activation within a semantic network. A prototype is a typical example of a category, a schema is a cognitive framework for organizing information, and a hierarchy is a ranking or classification system. None of these other options fit the described mental connection as well as semantic network.

Answer:

C. semantic network
