For most natural categories:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Natural categories are based on how people perceive the world around them, and therefore, membership is often not clear-cut or fixed. Boundaries between adjacent categories may be fuzzy or blurred, and people may shift between categories depending on context or perspective. In general, natural categories are defined more by typical features that are characteristic of most members of the category, rather than by a set of defining features that apply to all members. Therefore, D is not correct, and B may be true in some cases but is not generally applicable to natural categories.
