Erich Tschermak was an Austrian agronomist who developed several new disease-resistant crops, including wheat-rye and oat hybrids. He independently rediscovered Gregor Mendel's work on genetics. He was a plant breeder, and his hybridization experiments were done with the idea of improving crops using the laws of heredity.

So, the correct option is ‘Austria’.

Hugo de Vries, Holland botanist and geneticist, is the author of the mutation theory of evolution. His work led to the rediscovery and establishment of Mendel's laws. He made his first notable contributions to science in the 1880s in the field of plant physiology.

So, the correct option is ‘Holland’.

Carl Erich Correns was a German botanist and geneticist, who is notable primarily for his independent discovery of the principles of heredity, and for his rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's earlier paper on that subject, which he achieved simultaneously but independently of the botanists Erich Tschermak von Seysenegg and Hugo de Vries, and the agronomist William Jasper Spillman.

So, the correct option is ‘German’.

Mendel’s laws of inheritance was rediscovered by Hugo de Vries, Carl Correns, and T.Schemark independently.

So, the correct option is ‘Von Tschemark’.
