Carbon-14 Dating: Modern in-air nuclear bomb tests have created an extra high level of 14C in our atmosphere. If future archaeologists date samples from this era, without knowing of this testing, will their carbon-14 dates be too young, too old, or correct? If correct, why?
A. Too young.
B. Too old.
C. Correct, since 14C from bomb tests is different from that produced naturally.
D. Correct, because modern biological materials do not gather 14C from bomb tests.
