The correct answer should be Distant galaxies move progressively farther away from Earth

According to the Big Bang theory, the universe is constantly expanding and stars and galaxies and entities are moving away from each other. If a galaxy was to be moving towards earth, then that would contradict it since it should be going away from the earth and away from each other until one day the cooling begins.
