The recognized limitations of science among the provided options are:

  1. Science is unable to study phenomena that cannot be observed or measured. - This is true, as scientific inquiry relies on observation and measurement.

The following statements are not limitations of science:

  1. Science can address questions of morality and ethics. - While science can inform ethical discussions (e.g., through facts and data), it cannot provide definitive answers to moral questions, which are often subjective and philosophical.

  2. Science can explain every aspect of the human experience. - This is not true, as there are many subjective experiences, emotions, and cultural aspects that science does not fully explain.

  3. Science provides absolute and unchanging truths. - Science is a dynamic process that revises its understanding based on new evidence, so it does not provide absolute truths.

In summary, the first statement reflects a recognized limitation of science, while the others do not.
