A

B
2.5
C
4.6
D
13.7
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In short, the Big Bang hypothesis states that all of the current and past matter in the Universe came into existence at the same time, roughly 13.8 billion years ago.

Detailed explanation-2: -Scientists’ best estimate is that the universe is about 13.8 billion years old. But, like so many of the largest-scale properties of the universe, we are not entirely sure about its age.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Big Bang was the moment 13.8 billion years ago when the universe began as a tiny, dense, fireball that exploded. Most astronomers use the Big Bang theory to explain how the universe began. But what caused this explosion in the first place is still a mystery.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cosmic background radiation provides direct evidence that the universe did expand from a dense, hot state, for this is the condition needed to produce the radiation. In the dense, hot early universe thermonuclear reactions produced elements heavier than hydrogen, including deuterium, helium and lithium.
