Question 2
The idea of dark matter arose to explain gravitational effects observed in galaxies and clusters of galaxies.
However, studies of the early universe (especially of the cosmic microwave background and of chemical abundances) also tell us something about dark matter. What do they tell us? A) They add further support to the idea that dark matter really exists and is made of non-ordinary (nonbaryonic) matter, such as WIMPs.
B) They do not support the conclusion that dark matter is the dominant form of matter in the universe.
