In order for the cosmic microwave background to show hydrogen absorption lines at the redshift corresponding to the universe's age of 380,000 years, what condition would have been necessary?
 
  A) There would have needed to be even warmer hydrogen clouds (which would contradict the observation of a uniform temperature in all directions).
  B) There would have needed to be cooler hydrogen clouds (which would contradict the observation of a uniform temperature in all directions).
