Two models of the same compound are shown.

On the left labeled Model A 2 large overlapping black spheres with 3 small blue spheres overlapping the rear black sphere and 2 medium red spheres overlapping the front black sphere. One of the red spheres has a small blue sphere overlapping it. On the right labeled Model B 2 C's connected by a black line. The C on the left has 3 H's attached by 1 black line each and the C on the right has 2 Os attached to it. The top O is attached by 2 black lines and the bottom O by 1 black line. The bottom O also has an H attached to it by 1 black line.
In what way is Model A better than Model B?

Model A shows the types of elements in the compound, but Model B does not.
Model A shows the total number of atoms in the molecule, but Model B does not.
Model A shows the three-dimensional shape of the molecule, but Model B does not.
Model A shows the number of atoms of each element in the molecule, but Model B does not.
