Answer:
A. 17,100
Step-by-step explanation:
The half life of carbon-14 is around 5,700 years. When the shell contains 50% of its original carbon-14, 5,700 years have passed. 25% means another 5,700 years have passed, meaning 11,400 years in total have passed. 12.5% means another 5,700 years have passed, meaning 17,100 years have passed in total.
