The provided question is incomplete, however, the correct question with the correct group of choices is attached as an image.

Answer:

The correct answer would be - 6000 years old seeds from an ancient culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Carbon dating or Carbon-14 dating is one of the dating methods which is used to date biological artifacts that are old up to 50000 years only. It is used only on recent fossils or artifacts as the half life cycle of the radioactive carbon is only 5,730 years.

Due to its less half-life cycle, it is not effective on samples older than 50000 years. In this question, the only example is recent than 50000 years is 6000 years old seeds from an ancient culture.
