Answer: A) Either source or listener must be moving.

Step-by-step explanation:

Frequencies can shift if an observer is moving relative to the wave’s source. This type of shift is called the Doppler effect (often used to analyze sounds). Think about the sound you hear when a police siren passes you and drives away; as the car increases its distance from you, the pitch of its sound becomes lower. This is because each wave is emitted from a greater distance, causing the wavelength to spread out or increase relative to you, the listener.
