Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Synchronous senescence

The simultaneous senescence which is also known as the synchronous senescence is the process in which the leaves of temperate deciduous tree undergo senescence and falls off in the late autumn season of the year. This type of senescence is controlled by the environmental factors. In this process only leaves fall off and root and shoot remain as it is.

So the correct answer is B.
