The largest wavelength among the given options is option C:
\(1.4 * 10^5\) meters.

Wavelength is a measure of the distance between successive peaks (or troughs) of a wave. The wavelength of a wave is inversely proportional to its frequency, and it is commonly expressed in meters.

In the provided options:

- Option A has a wavelength of
\(7.7 * 10^4\) meters.

- Option B has a wavelength of
\(9.7 * 10^2\) meters.

- Option C has the largest wavelength,
\(1.4 * 10^5\) meters.

- Option D has a wavelength of
\(8.3 * 10^3\) meters.

Comparing the values, option C has the largest numerical value for wavelength, making it the correct answer for the largest wavelength among the given choices.
