There may be more alternatives:

L = wavelength
c = speed of light


1. Both L and c decrease, but L decreases
   at lower rate.
2. Both L and c increase, but L increases
   at higher rate.

The above cases complete yours,

3. L remains constant and c decreases.
4. c remains constant and L increases.
