Answer: The correct answer is-

D.  Factors for some traits are inherited from parents.

Gregor Mendel studied certain traits in pea plant and deduce the pattern of their inheritance using various experiments. According to Mendelian inheritance pattern, a characteristic or trait in an organism is depicted by single gene loci.

In other words, a single gene that exist in two alternative forms ( also known as alleles, which are dominant and recessive allele) depicts a particular trait (such as pea shape, pea color, height of pea plant).

He discovered that for some traits in organisms, factors are inherited from parents to their offspring ( that is from one generation to another) and these factors were later called genes ( also known as unit of heredity).

Thus, option D) is the right answer.

Thomas Malthus:

Thomas Malthus was not a biologist, but an economist who proposed the ideas that at the rate of the current population growth, human population would eventually suffer from famine and starvation.This would lead to the deaths of the weakest of the population. This idea inspired Darwin to formulate the idea of "the survival of the fittest".

Charles Lyell and James Hutton:

Charles Lyell and James Hutton were famous geologists who greatly influenced Darwin with their theories about the beginning and evolution of the Earth. Charles Lyell proposed that the present state of the Earth was a result of small, gradual changes. James Hutton theorized that the processes that too place at the beginning of the Earth were still in progress.

Lyell and Hutton's work paved the way for the formulation of the theory of natural selection.
