How does the redshift of galaxies provide evidence for the expansion of the universe?

• The redshift of galaxies is a result of gravitational forces, not the expansion of the universe.

• The redshift of galaxies is a measurement error and does not provide evidence for the expansion of the universe.

• The redshift of galaxies is caused by the Doppler effect, not the expansion of the universe.

• The redshift of galaxies indicates that galaxies are moving away from us, supporting the idea of the expansion of the universe.
