The correct option is A True
  • Methods like carbon dating and potassium-argon help in determining the age of fossils which helps to know about evolution.
  • Radiocarbon dating provides accurate data of about 35,000 years past. It is a method for determining the age of an object containing organic material by using the properties of radiocarbon, a radioactive isotope of carbon.
  • Potassium-argon dating is a method of determining the time of origin of rocks by measuring the ratio of radioactive argon to radioactive potassium in the rock.
So, the given statement is 'True'.
