Carbon-14 dating would be most appropriate for answer A: 6,000-year-old seeds. Carbon-14 is an organic radiocarbon, the decay of which is studied through dating to determine how old something is. The other three answers are too old for carbon-14 dating as the organic material would have already long decayed.

Carbon-14 dating is a way of tracing the organic matter content of animals and plants that existed some years ago.

  • Carbon-14 dating will only be effective for materials that lived some 50,000 years ago.
