b. red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet
c. violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red
d. violet, indigo, green, blue, orange, yellow, and red

b.red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet

Explanation:

Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional to each other. Electromagnetic waves that have a long wavelength will have a low frequency and vice versa. Wavelength and frequency are related by the following equation:

ν = c / λ

where ν, c and λ is the frequency, speed and wavelength of light respectively.

Red light has a long wavelength thus it has a low frequency.  And violet light has a short wavelength thus it has a high frequency.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.
