Answer:

B. An image. symbol, character, or plot that recurs consistently across cultures and time and that is considered universal.

Step-by-step explanation:

An archetype could be also an action or a situation that represents human behavior universally. It could also be the original model from which other things are based. For example, heroes share some common features archetypes but then they differ to fit better in the culture from which they are from.

I hope this answer helps you.
