Paragraph: Carbon-14 is used to determine the age of organic material. The procedure is based on the formation of 14C^{14}C by neutron capture in the upper atmosphere. 14C^{14}C is absorbed by living organisms during photosynthesis. The 14C^{14}C content is constant in living organism. Once the plant or animal dies, the uptake of carbon dioxide by it ceases and the level of 14C^{14}C in the dead being falls due to decay. The half life period of 14C^{14}C is 5770 years.

Which of the following option is correct?
