The statement that dark matter is the fastest-moving material in the universe is not true. In fact, we do not know how fast dark matter is moving as it does not emit or absorb light or any other form of electromagnetic radiation that we can detect.

Alternatively, another correct answer could be:

Answer: D
 The other statements are true, but the statement about rotation speed around Earth's axis is false. The speed of rotation around Earth's axis is the same for all locations on Earth. However, the speed of rotation around the Sun is faster for locations near the equator due to the larger circumference of their orbit compared to locations near the poles.
