Why can't astronomers use the 21-cm line of neutral hydrogen gas to measure the masses of elliptical galaxies?

A) All elliptical galaxies are too far away for us to detect the 21-cm line. B) The disorderly motion of the material in elliptical galaxies prevents us from measuring different velocities at different sides of the galaxy. C) Elliptical galaxies have little gas, so they do not have strong 21-cm line emission. D) Supermassive black holes in the center of elliptical galaxies disturb measurements of the 21cm line.
