Vedclass · Answer

(D) Gregor Mendel's success in his experiments on pea plants was primarily due to his systematic approach. $1$. He maintained accurate records of all observations and performed a statistical/quantitative analysis of the data. $2$. He focused on one or a few traits at a time,which simplified the analysis of inheritance patterns. $3$. He chose true-breeding pea plant varieties. Therefore,the most significant methodological reason among the options provided is that he considered one trait at a time (or a limited number of traits) to avoid complexity.
