Jimmy and Marquis are conducting an experiment in class. They have planted four seeds in four different pots. They placed the pots in different
places around the classroom: in a sunny window, on the work table, on the
floor near the window, and under the boys' desk. The boys watered the
pots every morning when they arrived at school. Once the seeds sprouted
the boys measured how much each seed grew. "Wowl" said Marquis, after
3 weeks of observing and measuring, "I can tell which seed was under our
desk!" Can you? Which seed was placed under the boys desk?
Measuring Plant Height
10
Plant Height (Inches)
Seed 1 Seed 2 Seed 3 Seed 4

The plant with the lowest height would be the one to have grown under the desk.

answer: carbon 14 can only be used to determine the age of the organisms that were once living, and igneous rocks are non living.

explanation:

carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of the sample by estimating the amount of carbon 14 present in the sample and then comparing it with a reference standard.carbon 14 is a isotope of carbon which is radioactive and unstable. carbon 14 is assimilated by all plants and animals throughout their life from carbon dioxide. however, one the organisms die they stop this assimilation and the carbon 14 content starts to decrease.by knowing how much of carbon 14 is left in an organism after his death, one can estimate the age of the organism. the materials whose age can be estimated by carbon 14 method are the organic compounds. however, some inorganic compounds such as aragonite   shell can also be dated.however, if we consider the igneous rocks it is a non living component which never accumulated carbon 14 in it and thus, we cannot use carbon 14 dating method to estimate its age.
