The right answer is C. The rates of decay of radioactive elements.

The dating methods make it possible to locate an object in time, fossil remains, and to estimate a date as accurate as possible. If Carbon 14 is the method that comes to mind instantly, this is just one method among others. Depending on the object to date, the context of its discovery, the material and the quantity that can be taken, several techniques can be deployed.

Each method of dating is generally dedicated to the study of a type of materials, for example, timber for dendrochronology, organic remains (wood, bone) for the C14 method or lava for the Potassium-Argon method. Some methods are too destructive and/or too expensive, so it may sometimes be preferable to date the sediments surrounding an artifact rather than the object itself.

notka56 [123]

I believe that ones sense of civic duty and apathy are attitudes that are usually acquired from ones parents. A sense of civic duty is influenced by deeply rooted personality traits. Parents play a vital role in determining the sense of civic duty and apathy, because they are responsible for the upbringing of a individual and teach the kids on how to relate with other people.
