Which scientific design has limitations due to oversimplification?

Choice D uses two colonies of duckweed in a flask to represent entire pond ecosystems. That model leaves out many real pond features and interactions, such as other organisms, water movement, and changing environmental conditions, so it may oversimplify the system. The other choices collect data from real-world settings, use test animals, or observe plants and pollinators directly.
