A, C, E
- C: A shift (Doppler/cosmological red- or blueshift) directly indicates the galaxy's motion along the line of sight (radial velocity).
- E: The systematic redshift of distant galaxies is evidence the universe is expanding (Hubble's law).
- A: Expansion of the universe is a key observation supporting the Big Bang theory.
(The shift itself doesn't give the galaxy's temperature or its number of stars; composition is indicated by the identity of the lines, not their shift.)
