Answer:

The answer to your question is: letter C) 5730

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Originally Carbon - 14 254 g

Currently Carbon - 14 127 g

Half-life of Carbon -14 is when half of the original amount of Carbon disintegrates.

Then, if originally there were 254 and now there are 127, only one half life passed.

Half life of carbon -14 is 5730 years old.
