Answer:

The statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Radiocarbon dating technique is rarely used to measure the age of fossils now. Carbon-14 is the use of isotopes in radiocarbon dating. This isotope has a half-life of 5730 so can only be used to detect the age of fossils younger than 75000 years. so the statement is true, however its rarely applicable to measure the age of the fossils.
