Why do we expect WIMPs to be distributed throughout galactic halos, rather than settled into the galaxy's disk?

A) WIMPs are lightweight enough that they have expanded out into the halo. B) WIMPs were produced by stars in the early stages of galaxy evolution and therefore are only found in globular clusters in the halo. C) WIMPS rarely interact with other particles and therefore cannot settle into galactic disks. D) Shock waves from generations of supernovae have blown the WIMPs out into the halo. E) WIMPs annihilate when they come into contact with ordinary matter, such as stars.
