Answer:  The correct answer is :  From the period-luminosity relation for Cepheids, he was able to determine the distance to Andromeda and show that it was far outside the Milky Way Galaxy.

Explanation:  Hubble's law says that the recession velocity of a galaxy is directly proportional to its distance from us. Hubble measured the distance to the Andromeda galaxy by applying the period-luminosity relationship to Cepheid.
