(D) Mendel's work remained unrecognized for several years due to the following reasons:$1$. Communication was not easy in those days,and his work could not be widely publicized.$2$. His concept of 'factors' (genes) as stable and discrete units that control the expression of traits and do not 'blend' with each other was not accepted by his contemporaries,as they were looking for continuous variation.$3$. Mendel's approach of using mathematics and statistics to explain biological phenomena was entirely new and unacceptable to the biologists of that time.$4$. He could not provide any physical proof for the existence of factors (i.e.,what they were made of or where they were located).
