Explanation:

Absolute dating is an important process used by geologists. This process allows geoologists to determine the timing of a given factor in the environment. In other words, absolute dating allows a numerical age to be estimated for that factor or the age interval between factors, but without putting the factors' formation events in order. It is generally used to date chemical and physical elements present in artifacts and rocks.

Relative dating is also an important process for geologists, but it does provide a relative order of past events and does not provide a numerical age, like absolute dating. It is generally used to date rocks, surface deposits and fossils, often using the law of superposition as a basis.

this age may represent the age of the earth's accretion, of core formation, or of the material from which the earth formed. this dating is based on evidence from radiometric age-dating of meteorite material and is consistent with the radiometric ages of the oldest-known terrestrial and lunar samples.

the correct answer is option d.

an appositive is a noun, noun phrase or noun clause which follows another noun or noun phrase in order to describe it or name it another way. they are usually used between commas, brackets or dashes.

the example sentence with the correct use of commas is the following:
