Answer 1

The correct answer is (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Economics is a study of the market and human behaviour. Economists usually use historical data, conduct interviews and surveys to find a pattern to predict and forecast. In economics, it is almost impractical to conduct laboratory experiments because laboratory experiments leave out various aspects of reality and leave out relevant variables. Furthermore, It is difficult to find a way to use a laboratory experiment to predict and forecast.
