Both Darwin and Mendel proposed their theory at the same time but they never communicated with each other. They both explained the population and studied the variation between them and in them.
The variation within a population could be of two types: the discontinuous traits and the quantitative trait.
A discrete trait refers to a trait that is usually controlled by only one gene that is only two alleles or two variants are observed in the population whereas the quantitative trait is a trait that can be determined by more than one gene like the variation in height.

D is correct. Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion stays in motion. The orange is moving and then the tray stops making the orange move forward because of inertia. Hope this helps! ;)
