The correct answer is "Study of tree rings and associated geology shows that the Earth is more than 12,429 years old"

Step-by-step explanation:

While tress have been growing long enough to prove the earth is more than 12,000 years old, it is not able to prove much longer than that. Luckily geology is able to show is that Earth is over 4.6 billions years old. As a result, the above is the only true statement.
