I beleive the answer is a........

The answer is A which is "The wave with higher frequency will have shorter wavelength." Below is the explanation:

for example

 λ=c/f
c
is the speed, f is the frequency, λ is the wavelength
 
if you have the same speed

c=1

let's say we have one with frequency 1, one with a higher frequency of 2


λ=1/1=1

λ=1/2=0.5
