C
Models can represent all aspects of an object or a system.
D
Models are only as accurate as current scientific knowledge.
E

Explanation
Scientific models help make abstract concepts more tangible and can be used to explain or predict events. Their accuracy depends on current scientific knowledge, which may change as evidence improves. Models also simplify reality and can sometimes be oversimplified; they cannot represent every aspect of an object or system, so statement C is not accurate.
