The correct response about the effectiveness of carbon dating is:

**It only works for organisms that died less than about 60,000 years ago.**

Carbon dating, or radiocarbon dating, is effective for dating organic material up to approximately 60,000 years old, beyond which the amount of carbon-14 becomes too small to measure accurately.
