Carbon-14 dating cannot be used to date ancient rocks because:

B. Carbon-14 decays relatively quickly.

Carbon-14 dating:

It is a method for tracking down the time of natural materials, like wood, in light of their substance of radioactive carbon. Also, it is a technique for estimating the time of natural matter by investigating its carbon content.

The decay takes place around 55,000 years i.e half the amount of the radioisotope present at any given time.

Thus, option B is correct.
