What is a key factor in making simulations possible according to the text?

  1. Random number generation

  2. Concurrency

  3. Graphic processing units (GPUs)

  4. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The correct answer is: Concurrency

A, Random Number Generation, is incorrect because it is a tool that is used in simulations, but it is not the key factor in making simulations possible. Simulations can still be run without the use of random number generation. C, Graphic Processing Units (GPUs), is incorrect because while they can enhance the speed and quality of simulations, they are not necessary for simulations to be possible. Simulations can be run using other types of hardware. D, Artificial Intelligence (AI), is incorrect because while AI can be used in simulations, it is not a key factor in making simulations possible. Simulations can be run without the use of AI.
