DThe volume decreases.

Verified Answer :

The pitch changes from high to low. :)hope this helps stinkers!

The correct answer is option B, that is, the pitch changes from low to high.  

The Doppler shift or the Doppler Effect refers to the variation in the wavelength or frequency of a wave in association with an observer who is traveling comparative to the source of the wave. A prime illustration of Doppler shift is the modification of the pitch heard when a vehicle sounding a horn comes towards and move away from an observer.  

In comparison to the frequency emitted, the obtained frequency is greater at the time of approach, similar at the instant of passing by, and lower at the time of recession.
