Answer:

A)11,460 years

Explanation:half of a radioactive element represent the time take for half of it's components to dissociate or disintegrate.

For carbonn14 that undergo an emmision to form a stable carbon 14,it moves thus

14C(1 part) ______14C(0.5 parts)_____14C(0.25parts)

i.e it undergo two radioactive decay which means two half lives .

Since each half life is 5780 years ,the age will be 2×half lives= 2×5780=11,460 years
