B
paleontology
C
geology
D
dendrochronology
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dendrochronology or tree-ring dating, is the scientific method of dating based on the analysis of patterns of tree rings, also known as growth rings. Dendrochronology can date the time at which tree rings were formed, in many types of wood, to the exact calendar year.

Detailed explanation-2: -Dendrochronology is an invaluable tool to help scientists determine the age of ancient settlements and artifacts. Archaeologists have a group of unlikely allies: trees. Dendrochronology, the scientific method of studying tree rings, can pinpoint the age of archaeological sites using information stored inside old wood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The age of the trees can be calculated by the number of annual rings. This method is called dendrochronology. Dendrochronology is the most useful technique to determine the appropriate age of samples. It is highly helpful especially in those samples which are too recent for radiocarbon dating.
