    The correct choice is

    A) the sound waves were pushed closer together.

    Explanation:

    As the ambulance gets closer, the distance between the ambulance and marge decreases and so does the wavelength of the siren observed by marge. As the wavelength decrease and speed remains the same for the siren, the frequency of the siren increases because wavelength, frequency and speed are related as

    Frequency = Speed/wavelength

    Clearly, the frequency is inversely related to wavelength.
