Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

The apparent change in the frequency of light due to the relative motion between the source and the observer is called Doppler's effect.

When the source is moving towards the observer which is at rest, the apparent frequency increases and if the observer is moving away the frequency of sound decreases.

It occurs for both light and sound.  

So, to explain the blue shift of light in the universe is due to the Doppler's effect of light.
