B Correct answer
Explanation

'Leaves' is a plural subject, so it needs the plural verb form 'rustle' to describe the sound they make when wind moves through them. 'Hissed' describes a snake-like sound, 'crack' suggests breaking, and 'cracked' is past tense. The sentence requires present tense because 'blows' is in present tense.
