Hubble's law states that
A.) more distant galaxies are youngerB.) the greater the distance to a galaxy, the greater is the galaxy's redshiftC.) most galaxies are found in clustersD.) the greater the distance to a galaxy the fainter the galaxy appears.

According to Hubble's law, the distance from the earth to the distant galaxies is directly proportional to their recessional velocity (redshift). This means that the more is the distance between the earth and a galaxy, the faster the galaxy is moving away from the earth.

Recessional velocity normally refers to the speed or velocity at which any astronomical body such as a planet, asteroid, star or galaxy moves away from a reference point, such as from earth.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
