Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A scientific model is representation of an object, idea or aim that describes its important characteristics or features in order to visualize its proper functioning and method.
Basically, a scientific model provides actual picture of an object.
For example, a diagram of a cell will describe the parts of the cell or some other important characteristics. So, it is a scientific model.
Whereas a three-dimensional representation of an atom is also a scientific model as it makes easy to visualize or understand how an atom looks like.
A graph showing the change in temperature and volume over time for hydrogen gas is helping to visualize how the temperature and volume of hydrogen gas are changing with time. So, it is a scientific model.
Whereas a data table does not tell or make us visualize anything in a proper manner. That is why, it is not a scientific model.
