My my...what a question.
I had guessed 'C'...But wasn't confident.
Dana's explanation was good, but mk101's analysis really drove the point home!
Nice work guys!

Assume 5 trees - every tree has less than five leaves and every tree has at least one. There are four options for the number of leaves to choose from 1,2,3,4 and five trees. Four options/five trees - at least two trees must have the same number.
Tani Wolff
The answer is C.
Take 5 trees, then the number of leaves = 1,2,3,4 (as # of leaves < 5) and the last tree has one of 1,2,3,4 leaves.

There are too many answers on this question as well as other daily question. How do I know which one is the right answer. I assume the right answer for this question is C
