Which outcome occurs during carbon-14 dating of fossils?

💡 Explanation

Radiocarbon dating relies on measuring the remaining carbon-14, because the known decay rate via beta decay (where neutron transforms into proton) gives its age. Therefore, ratio change indicates age, rather than other isotopes transmutating or absorption of radiation.
