A) Measurements of the separation between regions of different temperature (in the cosmic microwave background) agree with predictions made by the hypothesis of inflation.
B) It shows that the temperature of the cosmic microwave background is about 3 Kelvin.
C) It shows that some regions of the early universe must have been hundreds of times as dense as others.
D) It shows that the universe has no center and no edges.
