By the definition of wavelength, the answer is the letter D, the wavelength would decrease.
We can see in the diagram a wave motion.
A wave has some characteristics:
- Has an amplitude, the distance from 0 to the crest (highest point in the y-direction, point (3) in the figure) it would see in the figure as (2)
- Has wavelength, the distance between the crests.
- Has a trough, the lowest point in the y-direction.
Now, if we increase the distance of the crests, by the definition shown above, we will increase the wavelength.
Therefore, the answer is letter D, the wavelength would increase.
