fluctuating

higher

unchanged

lower

Answer 1

When an observer is moving towards a stationary object making a sound,
he runs the risk of startling the stationary object.

On the other hand, if the stationary object is the one making the sound,
then the pitch of the sound perceived by the observer is higher than the
sound that the object is actually making.
