A) Light (and heat) could travel much faster in the early universe,allowing them to exchange heat while the universe was young.
B) The expansion of the universe has always been the same everywhere;therefore,all parts of the universe have the same temperature,regardless of whether they have ever exchanged heat or not.

D) They were originally close together and evened out their temperature,then a rapid inflation of the universe carried them far apart.
