Answer:
D. None of the above
Explanation:
<u>Reason that Drastic Change in weather may cause mass extinction</u>
Weather plays an important role in the survivability & the growth/diminish of the population. For example, animals that need large amounts/bodies of water (for example fishes), will not survive when the area is hit with a heat wave & drought, which would cause fishes to surface, and die.
<u>Reason that Geological change would play a large role in mass extinctions</u>
While the Geography is constantly changing, large abrupt changes would cause a upheaval and may upset the population, leading to a depletion of resources or even a sudden destruction of part/all of the population. For example, an earthquake may kill large amounts of animals, and the destruction of the greenery in the area may severely limit the amount of food/decrease the primary consumer's populations, leading to a starvation.

Answer:
Mendel was a mathematician and a physicist. He was tutored by Christian Doppler known for his work "Doppler effect of wave frequency".
Mendel learned botany under Franz Unger.
Both knowledge of science and math helped him notice some patterns, traits and qualities in the gardens he had.
With that idea, he was able to see the chances or portability of developing such traits and how to prove it.
