Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D) Models are not the "real thing" so it will never correctly represent the system in all respects.

Explanation:

A scientific model might be a physical or a mathematical representation of any complex scientific theory or explanation.  A model is generated so that we can understand a scientific phenomenon easily and in a better way. A model can be used to understand about any scientific topic.

However, no matter how excellent a scientific model be, but it cannot fully understand the complex interactions that might occur in systems. For example, a model of a human organ cannot fully illustrate the different interactions that the organ might be undergoing with different molecules.
