Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Analogous representations are physical or sensory representations that share some characteristics with the objects they represent. A road map and a photograph both have physical characteristics (such as size, shape, and color) that are similar to the real-world objects they represent. Therefore, they are analogous representations of the external world around us. Exemplars refer to specific examples of a category or concept, while symbolic representations use abstract symbols (such as language or numbers) to represent external objects or concepts. Mental maps are cognitive representations of physical environments and may not necessarily have physical characteristics. Thus, A) is the best choice for this question.
