Correct Answer: fall off
Solution : The correct option to fill in the blank is the fourth option.
Fall off: It specifically describes the action of leaves separating or detaching from the trees, which is what happens in autumn as part of the natural cycle.
Fall down: This option doesn't fit the sentence structure correctly as leaves do fall downward, it doesn't capture the natural process of leaves separating from trees specifically in autumn.
Fall of: This phrase doesn't constitute correct grammar.
Fall on: This phrase means something comes into contact or lands on something else. For instance, rain can fall on the ground, but it doesn't convey the idea of leaves detaching from trees.
Therefore, the complete sentence should be: "Leaves fall off in autumn."
