Answer:

Option C. qualitative

Explanation:

A qualitative variable is the type of variable that can't be numerically expressed but can be categorized. The colors of the leaves on a branch can be categorized as green, yellow and orange etc. Thus, the colors of the leaves is a qualitative variable. So, the correct option is C.
