A redshift in spectrum interpreted in cosmological parlance infers that an object is moving away from the observer due to the expansion of space.

  • A redshift is said to have occurred when light shifts towards the red end of the spectrum, this is caused due to longer wavelength as the space continues to expand.

  • More light is stretched as objects moves away from the observer, causing the wavelength of objects get longer and a resulting shift in light towards the red end of the spectrum.

Therefore, the most appropriate option is that, a redshift occurs when the object is moving away from the scientist.
