    frequency is the most fundamental property . so it doesn't change. even amplitude doesn't change.what changes primarily is the velocity ,and due to that the wavelength also changes.

    so there are two correct options here but if you have to select only 1 it will be velocity

    The option, "A amplitude " is correct.
