The statement that best describes the movement of galaxies in the universe is:

C. galaxies are moving away from each other with galaxies farther away moving faster.

This observation is in line with Hubble's Law, which indicates that the recessional velocity of a galaxy (how fast it is moving away) is proportional to its distance from us.
