Answer:

C. Cognitive Map

Step-by-step explanation:

The concept of cognitive map was introduced by Edward Tolman in 1948. A cognitive map is a type of mental presentation that enables a person in their daily or metaphorical spatial environment to acquire, encrypt, store, remember, and decode information about the related locations and attributes of phenomena.

For example: When you depict your location to a friend you make a imaginary location of your home in mind along with roads, places to turn, landmarks, etcetera from your friend's starting point.
