Alina Schwartz · Answer 1

Option B

Explanation:

I think Option B best describes Doppler Effect where an object's motion causes sound waves to be compressed or rarefied because in Doppler effect, Compression of sound waves occur in front of a moving object while rarefied in sound waves occur in back of the object./
