The correct response is:

**Distant stars are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium, providing evidence that matter in the universe was once in one tiny dense spot.**

This supports the Big Bang Theory, as it suggests that the universe originated from a hot, dense state and has since expanded. The abundance of hydrogen and helium in distant stars aligns with predictions made by the Big Bang nucleosynthesis model.
