This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2020 Paper 2 Philosophy Question Paper (27-Dec-2020)
The correct answer is

Stratigraphy

Absolute dating methods give a calendar age in years for a sample, usually through a measurable natural process such as radioactive decay or the accumulation of trapped energy.

Radiocarbon (C-14) dating measures the decay of carbon-14 in organic material, thermoluminescence measures energy trapped in heated pottery or burnt flint, and palaeomagnetic dating matches the magnetic orientation of baked clay with known past changes in the earth's magnetic field. All three yield ages in years.

Stratigraphy studies the order of layers (strata) at a site. It only tells which deposit is older or younger than another, following the law of superposition, so it is a relative dating method.

Hence, Stratigraphy.
