Question

  1. a process of dating the age of organic material by measuring the decay of certain carbons is called:

a. microwave dating
b. continuous dating
c. radiocarbon dating
d. graphite dating
e. symmetrical dating

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Radiocarbon dating is a method used to determine the age of organic materials. It works by measuring the decay of carbon - 14 (a radioactive isotope of carbon). Microwave dating is not a recognized method for dating organic materials. Continuous dating is a very broad and non - specific term. Graphite dating is not a standard scientific dating method for organic materials based on carbon decay. Symmetrical dating is also not a relevant term for this context.

Answer:

C. radiocarbon dating
