Valerie Stanley · Answer 1

A is the correct option

Explanation:

The positive aspects of computer simulation is that it has the potential for allowing significant problems and costs of implementing new programs to be recognized beforehand, which is based on previous evaluation of researchers. The limitation are that that the computer and mathematical modelling cannot be guaranteed as social science is not as predictable as science.
