Answer:

A. velocity and wavelength

Explanation:

When a wave travels from one medium to another it undergoes a change in direction and this is referred to as refraction.
Refraction is the bending of a wave or a change in direction of a wave as it travels from one medium to another. Refraction is accompanied by change in velocity and wavelength of a wave.
Velocity of a wave is proportional to the wavelength of the wave therefore, if the velocity of a wave changes the the wavelength will also change proportionally to the velocity.
