A) Before that time, the universe was too crowded with stars. B) Before that time, the gas in the universe was dense and ionized and therefore did not allow light to travel freely. C) Before that time, the universe was dark so there was no light to illuminate anything. D) 380,000 years after the Big Bang marks the time when stars were first born, and thus began to shine the light by which we can see the universe.
