Answer:

B. Smaller than

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is from the Doppler effect. As the object which is in motion goes off from the other, there's a reduction in the frequency. This is due to the fact that successive soundwave get to be longer. So that the pitch will then be lowered. When the person observing moves towards what is making the sound, each soundwave that follows gets faster than the previous.
