Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the fall the day gets shorter hence less sunlight this results to leaves stopping their food making process. The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears and the yellow to orange color becomes visible

Answer:

I would say D

Step-by-step explanation:

Simply because B does not make sense, if you stop watering your tree, there will be rain and you can not stop that from happening.
