The correct statement is:
Carbon dating is used for absolute dating, but index fossils are not.
Carbon dating provides a specific age estimate for organic materials based on the decay of carbon-14, while index fossils are used as relative dating tools to identify and correlate the ages of rock layers based on the presence of certain fossil types.
