Explanation

Prototyping allows stakeholders to interact with a working model early in development, enabling faster identification of missing requirements and misunderstandings before full-scale development commits those errors into the final product. Catching issues early is far cheaper than reworking a completed system. The other choices describe disadvantages or myths: prototyping often leads to scope creep (extra features), change control is typically harder, and internal controls are generally more difficult to implement in prototyped systems.
