Carbon - 14 dating method is based on the fact that:

1. C-14 fraction is same in all objects
2. C-14 is highly insoluble
3. Ratio of carbon-14 and carbon-12 is constant
4. all the above

Correct answer: Ratio of carbon-14 and carbon-12 is constant

Solution

Carbon-14 dating relies on the constant ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in living organisms, which begins to change after death due to the decay of carbon-14.
