Which outcome predominates as radiocarbon dating nears limit?

💡 Explanation

As carbon-14 levels diminish near the detection limit, radioactive decay becomes statistically harder to distinguish from zero flux decay; therefore, the uncertainty increases severely, rather than background dominating, which can be mitigated with shielding.
