  2. Hence, it is the correct option.

Option D:

  1. Gamma rays have the highest frequency in the electromagnetic spectrum.
  2. As a result, it has the shortest wavelength.
  3. Hence, it is the correct option.

Explanation for incorrect options:

Option B:

  1. Infrared rays have a longer wavelength than ultraviolet rays.
  2. Hence, it is the incorrect option.

Option C:

  1. In addition, microwaves have a longer wavelength than UV radiation.
  2. Hence, it is also the incorrect option.

Hence, A and D are the correct statements.

Therefore, option (D) is the correct answer.
