1 answer

The incorrect statement about cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB) is:

It appeared only a few years ago.

The CMB is a remnant from the early universe, specifically from about 380,000 years after the Big Bang, which occurred approximately 13.8 billion years ago. It has been present since that time, and not just recently. The other statements about the CMB are correct.
