The BEST comparison between a gamma ray and a radio wave is:

B. A gamma ray has more energy than a radio wave because it has a shorter wavelength and a higher frequency.

Gamma rays have much shorter wavelengths and higher frequencies than radio waves, which results in them having significantly more energy.
