Probably not ... counterfeit things are fake replicas of the real thing. its not really copying on a smaller scale, so its computer representation.

Copy on a smaller scale is closer to the original meaning of simulation. A computer representation may not be an imitation.

No, your answer is not correct. In this context, the meaning of the word simulation that is used refers to a computer representation. A driving-simulation game is a computer program that replicates or imitates the experience of driving. It is not referring to the word simulation meaning "counterfeit" or "copy on a smaller scale". So the correct answer is:
3) computer representation
