Doppler effect for sound waves — practice question

A sound source producing a tone of one frequency $f_s$ moves at a steady speed straight toward an observer. It then goes past the observer and keeps moving straight away from the observer. The source velocity is unchanged. Which graph shows how the frequency $f_o$ of the sound detected by the observer varies with time?
