A
absolute age
B
relative age
C
space age
D
old age
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The absolute age of a rock or object is its numerical age. The numerical age, in years, of a rock or object. Each element is made up of atoms. An atom is the smallest part of an element that has all the properties of the element.

Detailed explanation-2: -Absolute dating methods measure the physical properties of an object itself and use these measurements to calculate its age. One of the most useful absolute dating methods for archaeologists is called radiocarbon dating. It works by measuring carbon isotopes, which are versions of the element carbon.

Detailed explanation-3: -Absolute dating determines the numerical age while relative dating arranges the fossils in an order.

Detailed explanation-4: -Numeric age-Numeric age means that we can more precisely assign a number (in years, minutes, seconds, or some other units of time) to the amount of time that has passed. Thus we can say how old something is. For Example this metamorphic rock is 3.96 billion years old.
