An engineer measures three points on an arch and fits a parabola through them. Which critique is most appropriate for a classroom modeling discussion?
A
A parabola is proven because exactly one parabola passes through any three points
B
A parabola may be reasonable for the arch, but three points alone do not rule out other curves or construction constraints
C
The model generalizes to every arch because all arches are parabolic
D
The model is invalid because arches cannot be represented by functions
