The correct statement is:
**The pitch would sound higher as you approached the school and lower as you moved away.**
This phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect, where the frequency (and therefore pitch) of a sound changes as the source of the sound moves relative to the observer. As you approach the source of the sound (the school bell), the sound waves compress, leading to a higher pitch. As you move away from the source, the sound waves stretch, resulting in a lower pitch.
