    Correct Answer
    A. A dry season

    In a tropical deciduous forest, the trees drop their leaves in response to a dry season. This is because during the dry season, there is a lack of water availability, which makes it difficult for the trees to maintain their leaves. Dropping leaves helps the trees conserve water and energy, as well as reduce the risk of damage from drought. This adaptation allows the trees to survive in the challenging conditions of a dry season in a tropical deciduous forest.
