Answer:

Option A

The apparent change in frequency of waves due to the motion of a source

Step-by-step explanation:

Doppler effect is the apparent change in frequency of waves due to the motion of a source. Doppler effect occurs when the source of waves moves towards the observer which causes emission of successive wave crests to be closer to the observer compared to the previous wave crest. This phenomenon was named after Austrian Physicist called Christian Doppler
