- B. Gravitational waves' were detected.
- C. Possibility of inter-galactic space travel through 'wormhole' was confirmed.
- D. It enabled the scientists to understand 'singularity'.
Explanation
Merging black holes disturb spacetime and produce gravitational waves that can be detected on Earth. This observation did not confirm wormholes or directly detect Higgs bosons.
