    The answer to your question is: letter C) 5730

    Explanation:

    Data

    Originally Carbon - 14 254 g

    Currently Carbon - 14 127 g

    Half-life of Carbon - 14 is when half of the original amount of Carbon disintegrates.

    Then, if originally there were 254 and now there are 127, only one half life passed.

    Half life of carbon - 14 is 5730 years old.
