The correct answer is option B: "Column 2 and Column 4."

Let's analyze the information in the chart step by step to determine which columns would most likely have the same description for all three galaxies.

Column 1: Type of galaxy

- In the chart, there are three types of galaxies mentioned: Spiral, Elliptical, and Irregular.

Column 2: Shape

- This column describes the shape of the galaxies.

- "Pinwheel" is the example given under "Spiral."

Column 3: Force holding it together

- This column describes the force that holds the galaxies together.

- "Gravitational" is the force mentioned for all three types of galaxies.

Column 4: Type of matter present

- This column describes the type of matter present in the galaxies.

- "Stars, gas, and dust" is mentioned for all three types of galaxies.

Now, let's determine which columns have the same description for all three galaxies:

- Column 1 (Type of galaxy) does not have the same description for all three galaxies because there are three different types mentioned (Spiral, Elliptical, Irregular).

- Column 2 (Shape) does not have the same description for all three galaxies because the shapes vary (e.g., "Pinwheel" for Spiral, but the shapes for Elliptical and Irregular are not mentioned).

- Column 3 (Force holding it together) has the same description ("Gravitational") for all three galaxies.

- Column 4 (Type of matter present) also has the same description ("Stars, gas, and dust") for all three galaxies.

So, the columns that would most likely have the same description for all three galaxies are Column 3 (Force holding it together) and Column 4 (Type of matter present).
