Correct answer: C
Explanation
The loss of green color in fruits during ripening is primarily caused by the breakdown of chlorophyll. This process is enzymatically driven by specific enzymes known as chlorophyllase and pheophytinase (often misspelled as 'lases' in the option). While pH changes and oxidation can occur, they are not the primary direct cause of chlorophyll degradation compared to these specific enzymes.
