The Correct Option is D
Approach Solution - 1
Gregor Mendel studied seven traits in his pea plant experiments, which included:
- Stem height (tall vs. dwarf) – (A)
- Pod shape (inflated vs. constricted) – (B)
- Seed shape (round vs. wrinkled) – (C)
- Seed color (yellow vs. green)
- Flower color (purple vs. white)
- Flower position (axial vs. terminal)
- Pod color (green vs. yellow)
Leaf shape was not one of the traits Mendel studied, making (D) the correct choice.

Approach Solution -2
Mendel studied 7 distinct traits:
- Stem height (A)
- Pod shape (B)
- Seed shape (C)
Seed color, flower color, etc.
Leaf shape was not studied due to its continuous variation.
The correct answer is (D) Leaf shape.
