Answer 1

A scientist would most likely choose to perform a simulation instead of a lab experiment or field observation if **the lab experiment might be dangerous or too difficult to do.** Simulations can provide a safe and controlled environment to study complex systems or processes that would be impractical or risky to explore in real-life settings.
