Answer:b

Explanation:Wavelength can be calculated using the following formula: wavelength = wave velocity/frequency. Wavelength usually is expressed in units of meters. The symbol for wavelength is the Greek lambda λ, so λ = v/f.

b. B

Step-by-step explanation:

Picture B has the smallest peaks among all which henceforth makes the wavelength i.e. distance between two adjacent crests or troughs, small.
