Here we have the string that is two meters long and needs to manage standing waves with the longest possible wavelength.

The standing wave would be the resulting wave of two equal waves traveling in the opposite direction without phase shift. To have the largest wavelength, one wave needs to fit on a whole string which means the standing wave will have one crest and one through and the wavelengths will be two meters.
