Which of the following features of a human skeleton can be determined by carbon-dating?

  • Height
  • Mass

The correct answer is: C

Explanation

Radiocarbon dating is often used in forensics to determine the age and year of death of unidentified human remains. It can also be used to identify a person's year of birth by measuring carbon-14 levels in tooth enamel. Carbon-dating, also known as carbon-14 dating, can be used to determine the age of a human skeleton.
