What do these observations show about cluster K compared with cluster L?

[1]
A

The galaxies in cluster K are receding more slowly and cluster K is closer to the Earth than cluster L

B

The galaxies in cluster K are receding faster and cluster K is further from the Earth than cluster L

C

The galaxies in cluster K are receding faster but cluster K is closer to the Earth than cluster L

D

The galaxies in cluster K are receding more slowly but cluster K is further from the Earth than cluster L
