Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Rothbart (1981) did not suggest prototyping as a way schemas can change. Prototyping involves creating a typical example or model of a category, which is different from the processes Rothbart described for schema change, such as subtyping (creating a new subcategory within an existing category), bookkeeping (adjusting existing schemas with new information), and conversion (a complete overhaul of an existing schema).
