‘Rustle’ is a soft muffled crackling sound caused by the movement of dry paper or leaves. It is a soft sound that is caused by the movement of frail things like the leaves. Since the noun in the sentence is ‘leaves’, ‘rustle’ would be the apt answer. Hence option A is correct. On the other hand, ‘buzz’ is a low continuous humming sound that is generally associated with insects. Thus option B is incorrect. ‘Ring’ is a clear resonate or vibrating sound that is usually produced by a bell or siren of some sort. Hence option C is incorrect. Whereas ‘patter’ is a repeated clear light tapping sound. It is generally used to describe the sound produced by raindrops since there is a throbbing beat when it rains. Since the sentence describes the sound produced by leaves option D is incorrect.

Therefore, Option B) that he died suddenly is correct because the two clauses in the sentence are joined by 'that' which completes the sentence meaningfully. Also, option B) is in the correct tense and form of verb.
