Carbon dating and other similar methods calculate age of a sample by quantifying the amount of A) nuclear fusion. B) photosynthesis. C) radioactive decay. D) electrons in a sample

Respuesta :

The answer is: C. radioactive decay

Answer:

Methods of assigning absolute age quantify the amount of radioactive decay that has taken place. This decay takes place at a set rate, so it acts as an hourglass, allowing scientists to see just how much time has passed. SO TECHNICALLY THE ANSWER IS C) RADIOACTIVE DECAY
