How dark matter is detected?

  • A. Dark matter is detected through its absorption effects
  • B. Dark matter is detected through its gravitational effects on visible matter
  • C. Dark matter is detected through its absorption and gravitational effects
  • D. Dark matter cannot be detected

Explanation

Dark matter emits and absorbs little or no detectable light, so it is inferred from gravity, such as its effects on galaxy rotation and gravitational lensing. Its gravitational influence on visible matter is therefore the key evidence.
