Answer:

D

Explanation:

Very old rocks would be been formed before said isotopes with short half-lives. We're thinking of a very long geological time. The original rock might be rock C, then years and years later rock Y would be measured. Y can't match C since there's too much unknowns in between.

The steam that came out of the electric evaporator carried a radioactive form of hydrogen and tritium with itself. Cost of clean up was $1 billion.
