Which of the following would be the best example of culture affecting categorization?

A) A five-year-old child calls a dolphin a "fish."
B) A Japanese man takes off his shoes before entering a house.
C) A woman from a traditional hunter-gather society categorizes plants as edible, inedible, or medicinal, instead of as flower, root, berry, etc.
D) A farmer sees a picture of a chicken sandwich in a magazine and decides to make himself one for lunch.

Answer: C
Rationale: How we categorize individual objects is based—at least to some extent—on cultural learning. In this example, the woman who categorizes plants based upon their uses is clearly influenced by her culture's dependence upon plants for food and medicine. The other options do not involve situations where cultural factors influence how someone categorizes individual objects, or how they relate objects to each other.
