Studying the decay of radioactive isotopes in dead organisms helps scientists to identify fossilized remains. The ratio of C-12 to C-14 in the atmosphere is 1 x 1012. The table shows this ratio inside the body of three organisms.
C12/C14 Ratio
Organism C12/C14 Ratio
A 1 x 1012
B 2 x 1012
C 4 x 1012
What can most likely be concluded from the above information?
Only Organism A is dead, and Organism C is older than Organism B.
Only Organism A is dead, and Organism B is older than Organism C.
Both Orgamism B and Organism C are dead, but Organism C has been dead longer than Organism B.
Both Orgamism B and Organism C are dead, but Organism B has been dead longer than Organism C.
