Answer 1

The correct option is B Determination of age of a tree by counting the annual rings

Dendrochronology is the study of age of a tree with the help of annual rings. It can date the time at which tree rings were formed, in many types of wood, to the exact calendar year. Growth rings, also referred to as tree rings or annual rings, can be seen in a horizontal cross section cut through the trunk of a tree.

So, the correct answer is 'Determination of age of a tree by counting the annual rings'
