For the writer, scientific models are paradigms of set of patterns that is assumed to happen in a particular situation or circumstance which is why it was created and modeled, to explain a certain phenomenon. Take for instance the biogeochemical cycle model –water cycle. The water cycle model involves the different process which was observed happen as the current cycle has been experimented and predicted to happen again with the same process.

The true statement about scientific models is that they are useful when they can explain or predict something (Option B). Models serve as representations that enhance our understanding and can be physical or conceptual. They are not limited to being tangible, exact representations of reality, or confined to certain sizes of phenomena.
