Answer
A
leftover radiation exists from the big bang
B
low-mass stars become white dwarfs
C
high-mass stars become neutron stars
D
hydrogen and helium exist in abundance
E
the universe is still expanding

Explanation

The big bang theory predicts that the universe should still be expanding and that leftover radiation from its early hot state should exist. It also predicts the abundance of light elements, especially hydrogen and helium. The life cycles of low- and high-mass stars are stellar evolution, not predictions specific to the big bang theory.
