To assign category to a leaf node. Easy! If sample data is pure

 => assign this class to leaf.

else

 => assign the most frequent class.

Note: Problem of building decision tree is "ill-conditioned" i.e. small variance in the training data can yield large variations in decision rules obtained.

Ex. p.405(D&H) A small move of one sample data can change the decision rules a lot.
