Answer:

C) light intensity and temperature change

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant leaves are green due to the presence of chlorophyll, a pigment responsible for trapping light and initiating photosynthesis. Photosynthesis slows as a result of lowered light intensity and temperature change. As chlorophyll production slows down, other plant pigments in the leaves become apparent and that gives us the autumn color.
