Answer 2

The given statement is true.

It is done by comparing the fossil with the carbon 14 radioactivity. In this process, the age of an object that contains organic material is calculated with the help of radiocarbon. The radiocarbon is a combination of sunlight and nitrogen present in the atmosphere.  

The calculation is done by measuring the amount of radiocarbon present in the material. For example, when an organism stops existing, its radiocarbon starts to decrease. Radiocarbon is an isotope of carbon. Isotope are elements which have the same "number of protons" but differ in the "number of neutrons".
