← ScienceWhich outcome affects radiocarbon dating when isotope ratios altered?
A)Calibration curve accuracy degrades✓
B)Half-life calculations become variable
C)Radioactive decay slows significantly
D)Detector saturation permanently triggers
💡 Explanation
Altered isotope ratios invalidate assumptions; `isotopic fractionation` causes calibration deviations, because reference materials shift, therefore dating confidence drops; rather than decay changes, affecting all isotopes, or instrumentation errors.
