What observational evidence supports the conclusion that most of the mass of the Milky Way is in the form of dark matter?

A) There is no observational evidence; it is only a theoretical idea based on computer models indicating that the Milky Way could not have formed unless it had much more mass than it contains in stars and gas. B) Although dark matter emits no visible light, we have detected it with radio telescopes. C) We can see the dark matter as dark blotches in the sky, such as the dark lanes that are visible within the Milky Way in the night sky. D) The orbital speeds of stars and gas clouds far from the galactic center are surprisingly high, suggesting that these stars and gas clouds are feeling gravitational effects from unseen matter.
