Question

Radioactive dating looks at the carbon-14 remaining in __________ material.

A. inorganic
B. metallic
C. organic
D. rocky

Answer 1

Radioactive dating looks at the carbon-14 remaining in organic material.

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Organic is a carbon-14 radioactive isotope of the representation of carbon in all organic matter because all living things exchange carbon with their environment. Once death takes place carbon-14 decays and this process can be studied through what is known as radioactive dating.

Organic can be derived from matter which is living, and chemical free. It could be a produce or an involvement of production that’s free of any chemical substance.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C. Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon present in all organic matter because all living things exchange carbon with their environment. Once it dies, C14 starts to decay and this process is what is studied through radioactive dating.
