The velocity of light emitted by a source $S$ observed by an observer $O$,who is at rest with respect to $S$,is $c$. If the observer moves towards $S$ with velocity $v$,the velocity of light as observed will be

  • A
    $c + v$
  • B
    $c - v$
  • C
    $c$
  • D
    $\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}$
