The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify Mendel's Contribution**: Mendel is known as the father of genetics for his foundational work in the field of heredity. 2. **Determine the Organism Used**: Mendel conducted experiments using plants, specifically focusing on the traits of these plants to understand inheritance patterns. 3. **Identify the Specific Plant**: The specific plant that Mendel used for his experiments is the pea plant, scientifically known as *Pisum sativum*. 4. **Describe the Traits Studied**: Mendel studied various traits in pea plants, such as seed shape (round vs. wrinkled) and seed color (yellow vs. green). 5. **Conclusion**: The correct answer to the question "Mendel's experimental material was" is *Pisum sativum*. **Final Answer**: Mendel's experimental material was *Pisum sativum* (pea plant). ---
