What is the name of the theory that describes the origin and evolution of the universe?

  1. Big Bang Theory

  2. Steady State Theory

  3. Oscillating Universe Theory

  4. Cyclic Cosmology


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Big Bang Theory is the prevailing cosmological model that describes the universe from its earliest known stages to its present expansion and cooling.

What is the cosmic microwave background radiation?

  1. The leftover radiation from the Big Bang

  2. The radiation emitted by stars and galaxies
