Answer:

c: Yes, if we had a big enough telescope

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite the age of our universe, around 13.7 billion years, its expansion has been a lot faster than the speed of light. One can asume that the universe has the same distance as its age, but thanks to the inflation theory, the universe generates space faster than the speed of light, thus moving away galaxies at the same rate.
