Uranium"lead dating, abbreviated U"Pb dating, is one of the oldest and most refined of the radiometric dating schemes. It can be used to date rocks that formed and crystallised from about 1 million years to over 4.5 billion years ago with routine precisions in the 0.1"1 per cent range.
So according to me, D is the right answer.

Uranium - Lead method:
Knowledge of the rate of decay of certain radioactive isotopes helps to determine the age of various rock deposits Geological rocks have Uranium 256 which decays to uranium 238 and lead 206 ultimately.

Radiocarbon dating (sometimes simply known as carbon dating) is a radiometric dating method that uses the naturally occurring radioisotope carbon-14 (14C) to estimate the age of carbonaceous materials up to about 58,000 to 62,000 years.

CARBAN DATING ACTUALLY CAN'T BE USED TO CALCULATE THE AGE OF OLD FOSSILS.
