One advantage of hunting from an elevated stand is that it:

Hunting from an elevated stand provides the advantage of making a hunter's scent harder to detect. When positioned above ground, the scent emitted by a hunter is less likely to drift to the areas where game animals are located. Most animals, particularly deer, rely heavily on their sense of smell to detect potential predators. Being elevated allows scent to disperse and rise with the air currents, thus reducing the likelihood that animals will wind the hunter's location. This can increase the chances of successfully remaining undetected during a hunt.

The other options do not present the same advantage. For example, being elevated does not necessarily make a hunter more visible; in fact, it often provides better concealment. While an elevated position might offer a wider shooting range, this can depend greatly on the surrounding terrain and obstacles. Additionally, while safety should always be a concern when hunting from an elevated stand, the design of the structure and proper use of safety harnesses are critical for decreasing the chance of falling, not the elevated height itself.
