Answer
A
dividing speed by wavelength
B
dividing frequency by wavelength
C
multiplying frequency by period
D
dividing wavelength by period

Explanation

Wave speed, frequency, and wavelength are related by the equation speed = frequency × wavelength. Rearranging gives frequency = speed ÷ wavelength, so dividing speed by wavelength is the correct process. Choice A is correct.
