It is the proportion predicted to be present in the early universe.
It is the proportion predicted to be present in the early universe.

It proves that matter must be formed under high temperature

Answer 1

The correct response is:

It is the proportion predicted to be present in the early universe.

This aligns with the Big Bang theory, which predicts specific ratios of hydrogen and helium as a result of nucleosynthesis in the early moments after the Big Bang. Observations of the current abundance of these elements in the universe match these predictions.
