How are simulation results useful for informing decisions about the real world?

A. Because simulation models precisely replicate real-world biology, the results they produce accurately predict everything that will happen in the real world. B. Because simulation models capture the essential features of real-world biology, the results they produce always accurately predict basic outcomes in the real world. C. Because simulation models capture key features of real-world biology, the results they produce can lead to reasonable predictions and further hypotheses about the real world. D.
