The correct response based on the relationship between wavelength and frequency of sound waves is:

As wavelength increases, frequency decreases.

This is because the speed of sound is constant in a given medium, and the relationship between wavelength (λ), frequency (f), and speed (v) can be expressed with the equation:

\[ v = f \cdot \lambda \]

When the wavelength increases, the frequency must decrease to keep the speed constant.
