Correct answer: D
The correct period for Mendel's hybridization experiments is Option D, 1856 – 1863. Gregor Mendel conducted his experiments on plant hybridization using pea plants between these years. During this period, he meticulously crossbred peas and observed the inheritance patterns of certain traits, which led to the formation of the fundamental laws of genetics, known as Mendel's Laws of Inheritance.
