Answer:

(B) Some regions of the universe were slightly denser than others.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Big Bang theory, after recombination, that is, when electrons and protons first became bound to form hydrogen atoms, some slightly denser regions of the almost uniformly universe, grew gravitationally, becoming denser, forming clouds, stars and galaxies.
