Answer #1

The correct answer is essential definition because an essential definition in philosophy is that which puts forth fundamental human perception of a particular thing and the subject and predicate of the definition are reversible. The other options are incorrect because definition by example is defining a thing through an example such as dining chair is a type of chair, and too broad can mean that the definition is too broad which is incorrect for the given situation.
