What appears to be the relationship between the distribution of dark matter and the distribution of luminous matter?
A) There seems to be no correlation at all.
B) There seems to be a separate distribution of dark matter-dark-matter galaxy clusters, voids in the dark matter, and so on. But these formations all occur in regions of space far from luminous matter.
C) The distribution of dark matter seems to coincide with the distribution of luminous matter.
D) The distribution of dark matter seems to be just the reverse of the distribution of luminous matter: Dark-matter galaxy clusters occur in the voids of luminous matter; luminous galaxy clusters occur in the voids of dark matter.
