The correct response is: It is the proportion predicted to be present in the early universe.

This supports the Big Bang theory because the observed abundance of hydrogen and helium aligns with theoretical predictions of their ratios resulting from nucleosynthesis in the early moments of the universe. The Big Bang model suggests that a significant amount of hydrogen and helium were created shortly after the Big Bang, and the current observations match these predictions.
