Answer:

(A) The distance of a galaxy is proportional to its recessional speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 1920's, Edwin Hubble discovered that galaxies are moving away from each other from earth at speeds that are proportional to their distance. In simpler terms, the farther they are the faster they're moving away from earth.
