← ScienceWhich delayed outcome follows carbon-14 presence in artifacts?
A)Radioactive dating becomes available.✓
B)Artificial transmutation reactions accelerate.
C)Nuclear binding energy drastically increases.
D)Spontaneous nuclear fission becomes inevitable.
💡 Explanation
The presence of carbon-14 supports radiocarbon dating because beta decay changes carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 at a known rate. Therefore, radioactive dating is available, rather than transmutation or altered binding energy, which require higher collision energy.
