Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding the relationship between frequency and wavelength

Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional. This means that lower frequency sounds have longer wavelengths, and higher frequency sounds have shorter wavelengths.

Step 2: Comparing sound ranges

Infrasonic sound has the lowest frequency of the three options (infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic). Audible sounds are the sounds we can hear, and ultrasonic sounds are higher frequency than we can hear.

Final Answer: A) infrasonic
