The answer to this question would probably be " D. The same background radiation was observed coming from all directions of space."

The background radiation here is referring to the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, one of the observational evidences of the Big Bang Theory which was discovered by Penzias and Wilson as they were doing some observations with a microwave receiver.
