Answer 1

A. Models usually do not have exactly the same features as the objects or events that they represent.

This statement identifies a limitation of models, as they often simplify or omit certain features of the real objects or events they are meant to represent. This simplification can lead to a lack of accuracy or a misunderstanding of the complexities of the actual phenomena.
