Well I don't know. Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.
A, B, C, and D all have the same TOTAL length, but A has the most waves crammed into that same total length.
By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in A must be shorter than each wave in B, C, or D.
The correct choice is <em> A </em>. Looking at the picture did the trick !
