C. have shed their leaves every time autumn approached but a healthy tree always gets
D. shed their leaves every time autumn approaches but a healthy tree always gets

Answer

D

Explanation

A- The subject is 'trees', which is plural, so the use of 'has' is incorrect as a helping verb. B- 'Approaching' is the wrong form of the verb. C- This option mixes two tenses. The first part uses 'approached' which makes the action of shedding trees as an action of past but the use of 'gets' in the end makes the action of getting back leaves a present action, this ambiguity in tenses is incorrect. D- The subject is pural and therefore 'its' can't be used to address the subject. So, option E is correct.
