Galaxies sometimes have recession speeds that deviate somewhat from the exact speed predicted by Hubble's law. What do these so-called peculiar velocities reveal?

A) velocities due to the gravitational tugs of nearby galaxies or clusters of galaxies B) deviations in the rate at which the universe has been expanding at different times in the past C) These velocities indicate serious discrepancies with Hubble's law and with our view of an expanding universe. D) These velocities indicate that the expansion rate differs for different directions in space.
