A

Answer to Question 2

COBE found that the cosmic background radiation has a perfect thermal radiation spectrum, with a peak corresponding to a temperature of 2.73 K. However, it also found slight fluctuations in the radiation. The temperature varies very slightly from one place to another by a few parts in 100,000.
