The correct response is:

**Large galaxy clusters containing both dark matter and normal matter. The immense gravity of all this material warps the space around the cluster, causing the light from objects located behind the cluster to be distorted and magnified.**

This phenomenon is known as gravitational lensing, where massive objects (like galaxy clusters) bend the path of light from more distant objects, creating arcs and other distorted images.
