C: This process provides scientists with the exact age of rocks.

Explanation:

Radioactive dating techniques are absolute dating methods that yields precise age of rocks. They are targeted at radioactive isotopes in rocks using their parent to daughter ratio.

  • Dating can either be absolute or relative
  • Absolute dating techniques like radiometric ones gives the precise age of rocks.
  • Relative dating techniques uses geologic events to place the age of earth samples.
  • When the scientist deploys radioactive measurement, he would be furnished with actual age of the rock.
