The answer is option A.
Potassium-Argon method is used to determine the age of artifacts measures the rate of decay in atoms in volcanic rock.
This method can be abbreviated as K-Ar dating, K for potassium and Ar for Argon. This method is used by measuring the product of the radioactive decay of isotope of Potassium and Argon.
