The blackbody spectrum of blackbody A peaks at a longer wavelength than that of blackbody B. (a)

Question:

The blackbody spectrum of blackbody A peaks at a longer wavelength than that of blackbody B.
(a) Is the temperature of blackbody A higher than or lower than the temperature of blackbody B?
(b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:
I. Blackbody A has the higher temperature because the higher the temperature the longer the wavelength.
II. Blackbody B has the higher temperature because an increase in temperature means an increase in frequency, which corresponds to a decrease in wavelength?
