Congress's land policy of selling sections of 640 acres at a dollar an acre prior to 1800. a. enabled large plantations in the south and even larger ranches in the west b. poor people obtain more land c. restricted sales primarily to speculators d. started a land rush in the west

c. Restricted sales primarily to speculators

Explanation:

Prior to 1800, the government used to sell land very cheaply. However, one of the problems of this was that the land could only be bought in massive expanses. The government sold sections of 640 acres, which were too large for an average farmer to acquire and maintain. What this led to was the rise of speculators. Speculators would buy large plots which they would eventually divide and sell in smaller pieces to private farmers.

radioactive dating, also known as  radioisotope dating  is a process that in  estimating the approximate  age  of  rocks. these data can be analyzed from  the studies dealing with the  decay of the radioactive elements that are present in these rocks. in nature, there are a few types of materials or atoms which are quite unstable and they spontaneously decay or breakdown to form other kinds of atoms.
