A) as galaxies age, they get redder and redder
B) as space stretches, the waves of radiation in space also stretch and their wavelength increases
C) as space stretches, the presence of dark matter slows down the light between galaxies
D) as time goes on, waves in space encounter more and more dust, and get redder
