Option A. The lowest frequency appears red, and the highest frequency appears Violet.

Explanation:

Frequency is defined as the number of waves pass through an area in one second. There is an inverse relationship between frequency and wavelength. If one increases the other decreases and vice versa.

In light colors, violet color has the highest frequency i. e. 7.5 x 1014 Hz but lowest wavelength while red color has the lowest frequency i. e. 4.3 x 1014 Hz but highest wavelength.
