The correct response is:

It provides evidence of universe expansion.

Weak background radiation, specifically the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation, is considered strong evidence for the Big Bang Theory as it is thought to be the afterglow of the initial explosion that created the universe. This radiation is uniform and comes from all directions, supporting the idea that the universe has been expanding since its inception.
