c)
The chlorophyll breaks down, the green color disappears, and the yellow to orange colors become visible and give the leaves part of their fall splendor. At the same time other chemical changes may occur, which form additional colors through the development of red anthocyanin pigments.

The spring season often brings warmer temperatures and new growth, and is celebrated by people around the world with festivals and fairs. Spring is the period of time between the vernal equinox, which falls around March 21 each year, and the summer solstice, which takes place every year on June 21.

a)
Leaves must fall. Evergreens can hang on to their leaves through winter, because their foliage is coated in a wax that helps protect against cold, and their cells bear anti-freeze chemicals that ward off winter's worst woes. Not so for broadleaf, or deciduous, trees.
b)
The sun goes away so the leaves do not have any more sunlight to grow in so they slowly die off and fall off of the trees.
