Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Pitch is determined by frequency. So if frequency increases, pitch increases and produces a higher sound. If frequency decreases, pitch decreases and produces a lower sound. Frequency and wavelength are inversely related, meaning that if frequency increases, wavelength becomes shorter and vice versa
