During an exploratory mission to the icy moon Caelum, an automated research probe detects two distinct glowing crystal clusters emitting coherent monochromatic pulses. Cluster Alpha emits radiation with a wavelength of 400 nm, whereas Cluster Beta emits radiation with a wavelength of 800 nm. Based on the fundamental relationship between electromagnetic wave properties and photon energy, which statement correctly compares the individual photons emitted by these two clusters?

A) Photons from Cluster Beta have twice the frequency and twice the energy of photons from Cluster Alpha.

B) Photons from Cluster Alpha travel at twice the speed of photons from Cluster Beta in a vacuum.

C) Photons from Cluster Beta carry greater energy because photon energy is directly proportional to wavelength.

D) Photons from Cluster Alpha have twice the frequency and twice the energy of photons from Cluster Beta.
