Did something wrong

1) You did something wrong.


Can't this sentence mean:

a) You made a mistake.

and

b) You did something reprehensible.

and

c) There was something that you did in a wrong manner.


Is '1' pronounced the same way for the three meanings?

I think it is pronounced slightly differently for meaning 'c'.


Gratefully,

Navi.
