Respuesta :

 a. carbon-14 b. phosphorus-32 c. potassium-40 d. rubidium-87
d

Answer:

The correct answer is phosphorus-32-32.

Explanation:

Phosphorus-32 is an isotope of phosphorus found in many organic molecules. They are used to detect metabolic pathways of involving bio-molecules. Also used to detect malignant tumors in the body of the living being.

Where as:

Carbon-14 is used for carbon-14 dating also known as radiocarbon dating. this is used to determine age of  old objects.

Potassium-40 id used to determination of age of rocks and minerals. Specially used in potassium argon dating.

Rubidium-87 is an isotope of rubidium element used to  determine age of rocks.
