When a sound source is moving and approaching you, the pitch that
you hear is higher than when the source is stationary.

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Pitch of the wave is defined as the measure of frequency of the wave.

Higher the frequency, higher will be the pitch and vice-versa.

Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations happening in 1 second. As, the sound approaches near you, the frequency of the wave increases and therefore, increases the pitch of the sound wave.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
