OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
• Split #1: SUBJECT/VERB AGREEMENT
The plural subject the leopard geckos requires the plural verb are [crepuscular].
(Did anyone else notice that crepuscular sounds like a mashup of creepy and muscular? Just me? Okay.)
Options A, B, and E incorrectly pair the plural subject geckos with the singular verb is.
ELIMINATE A, B, and E
• Split #2: PRONOUN/NOUN AGREEMENT
The plural possessive pronoun for plural geckos is their, not its
Options A and B [already gone] and option D all incorrectly use its, rather than their.
Eliminate D.
• By POE, the answer is option C.
→ subject and verb match: geckos are crepuscular
→ pronoun/noun match: their is a plural possessive, referring to geckos
The answer is C.

My answer is (C).
The subject of this sentence is plural ("The leopard geckos"). Eliminate (A), (B) and (E) because "is" (singular of "be") does not agree with "geckos".
In (D), "its" does not agree with "geckos", either.
Read (C) once without noticing conspicuous errors. Choose (C) and move on.
