Which statement BEST explains how the Doppler shift provides evidence for the Big Bang Theory?
The Doppler shift of light from distant galaxies implies that planets are moving away from Earth, suggesting the universe is expanding.
The Doppler shift of cosmic microwave background radiation indicates that it originated from a hot, dense state and has shown a redshift over time.
The Doppler shift of sound waves from distant galaxies suggests that the planets are moving closer to Earth, supporting the expansion of the universe.
The Doppler shift of light from galaxies in different directions reveals a pattern of redshifts, supporting that the universe continues to expand from a central point.

Throughout the years, scientists have had many different theories on how the Sun produces energy. At first they believed it was a giant ball of burning gas, then they believed it was shrinking due to gravity and releasing energy. Currently, they believe the reason the Sun has been able to release so much energy for such a long time is because of —
nuclear fusion on the surface of the Sun converting hydrogen into helium
nuclear fission in the core converting helium into hydrogen
nuclear fusion in the core converting hydrogen into helium
nuclear fission on the surface of the Sun converting helium into hydrogen
