Answer 12

Carbon-14 dating would be most appropriate for answer A: 6,000-year-old seeds. Carbon-14 is an organic radiocarbon, the decay of which is studied through dating to determine how old something is. The other three answers are too old for carbon-14 dating, as the organic material would have already long decayed. Does this make sense? Glad to help again! @megax
