D) category.

Claudia is using an algorithm, which is a set of step-by-step instructions to achieve a specific goal. In this case, the goal is to cook her mother's lasagna dish and the set of instructions is her mother's recipe. A heuristic is a general problem-solving strategy that may not always lead to a correct solution, while a subgoal is a smaller goal within a larger goal, and a category is a group of objects or concepts with shared features. None of these options accurately describe Claudia's actions in following her mother's recipe.
