Answer: B. detect an element
Both two answers are wrong. The correct answer is to B. detect an element. For example, a rock type can be detected through carbon dating (half-life), age of recent organic remains of archaeological excavations are also determined through same process

The correct answer is A, assuming the half life of an element is 1000, if the element start to decay to 250 atoms . It means that the Half life of another atom has been created, not the original element.
