Correct Answer
B. There are fewer daylight hours.
Explanation
During the fall season, the days become shorter and there are fewer daylight hours. This change in daylight triggers a response in trees, causing them to shed their leaves.

This process helps the trees survive the colder temperatures and harsh conditions of winter. Therefore, the statement "There are fewer daylight hours" is the most logical explanation for why trees shed their leaves in the fall.
