If choices are the following,
a. A heuristics
b. An algorithm
c. A mental set
d. Insight

then the choice (a) should be the correct answer. Heuristics is something that someone has already mastered for a long time that even one glance or sight he/she can determine what is the problem and be able to offer a solution. The above question is an example of familiarity heuristics.
