Solution

The correct option is D
Endosperm colour - Green/Yellow

Mendel selected seven pairs of contrasting characters. Among these, the flower colour was either purple or white, pod colour was either green or yellow, and seed colour was either yellow or green.

Endosperm colour was NOT among the traits that Mendel considered.
