B
Mechanical waves (like sound) typically have much lower frequencies than most electromagnetic waves (like visible light), and since wavelength λ = v/f, their wavelengths are usually longer. (Note: some EM waves — e.g., long radio waves — can be very long, but in general mechanical waves tend to have longer wavelengths than typical EM waves such as visible, IR, UV, X‑ray.)
