Absolute dating is more accurate than relative dating because it uses the half-life of radioactive isotopes to determine specific ages of materials. This method provides precise numerical ages compared to the broader time frameworks offered by relative dating. Thus, the correct answer is B: Absolute dating uses the half-life of an element.
