The correct answer is "prototype". In the prototype theory a category is defined as the element that is the best fit of it, or the element that first come to mind when the category is mentioned.

Another example can be the category "furniture" which could be defined by a chair instead of a stool, since a chair is the first that comes to mind for most people when furniture is mentioned.
