The Doppler effect for light states that a blue shift occurs when the light source (star) moves toward the observer (Earth), compressing the light waves and shifting their frequency to the blue end of the spectrum. A red shift occurs when the star moves away. The other options relate to stellar evolution, not Doppler shifts.
