    Acidic rocks are more radioactive than the basaltic ones. Best example is your granite, which contains radioactive elements. Also as per various findings it has been observed that igneous rocks are more radioactive as compared to other rock types (like acidic igneous rocks contains more radium as compared to the basic ones). Granite is actually the rock having highest radioactive element content. A rock with a relatively high proportion of radioactive isotopes is probably very young, while a rock with a high proportion of daughter products is probably very old. So correct option as per this would be (B)
