The correct response is **B**: decreases.
As you tune your radio to a higher frequency, the wavelength of the wave decreases. The relationship between frequency (f) and wavelength (λ) is described by the formula:
\[
c = f \lambda
\]
where \(c\) is the speed of light. As the frequency increases, the wavelength must decrease to keep the equation balanced.
