What is one idea why a relatively dense protogalactic cloud more likely to produce an elliptical galaxy than a spiral galaxy?

A) The force of gravity from the higher gas density can pull the material into a more spherical shape. B) The more frequent collisions between particles in the high-density gas randomize the particle orbits. C) The thickness of the dense cloud prevents a disk from forming. D) The higher gas density allows more rapid star formation, leaving little gas to form a disk.
