Neutrinos travel at very high speeds (close to the speed of light). How does this fact imply that neutrinos cannot make up the bulk of the dark matter in galaxies?

A) Their high speeds mean neutrinos cannot have much mass.
B) Their high speeds tell us that neutrinos interact only through the weak force and gravity.
C) Their speeds of neutrinos mean that neutrinos would escape from galaxies.
