Often, an asteroid viewed from the Earth will appear to change its brightness periodically.  We believe this happens because
A)   the albedo is significantly different on one side compared to the other.
B)   the leading side is very dark and the trailing side is very bright like Iapetus, a satellite of Saturn.
C)   the asteroid is elongated, so that it may present a larger or a smaller cross section to us as it rotates.
D)   the asteroid is simply passing through the shadow of another asteroid.
