Answer:

The correct answer is pneumonia.

Explanation:

The elderly suffering from pneumonia makes them susceptible to various other issues. Due to its rapid occurrence and tendency to disperse to other sections of the body, pneumonia can be lethal. Even a mild case of pneumonia results in an extreme blow to the immune system that can cause an underlying condition like a heart condition into a life-threatening problem.  

As older individuals generally possess these additional issues, any kind of pneumonia can possess dangerous consequences.

The half life of Carbon 14 is 5500 years. How many years will pass for a 30 gram sample to reach 3.75 grams
sertanlavr [38]
Half life is the time taken by a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original mass. In this case the half life of carbon-14 is 5500 years. 
The original mass is 30 g and the new mass is 3.75 g. 
New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n, where n is the number of half lives; 
3.75 = 30 × (1/2)^n
 1/8 = (1/2)^n
 n = 3 
Thus, the time taken will be; 3 × 5500 = 16500 years.
