To find the proportion of the universe's galaxies that can be seen from Earth, we need to consider the vastness of the universe and our position within it.
The observable universe is estimated to contain billions of galaxies. However, the actual number of galaxies in the entire universe is not known with certainty.
When we look up at the night sky, we can only see a limited portion of the universe. This is due to several factors, including the presence of interstellar dust and the expansion of the universe itself.
Assuming that the question refers specifically to the observable universe, the most accurate answer would be "a. far less than 1 percent." This is because the observable universe represents only a small fraction of the entire universe.
Please note that our understanding of the universe is continually evolving, and new discoveries may change our knowledge of its extent and the proportion of galaxies visible from Earth.
