The Xenia and metaxenia effects are primarily observed in Angiosperms (B). These effects refer to the influence of pollen on the characteristics of the seeds and fruits, which is particularly significant in flowering plants. While gymnosperms, bryophytes, and pteridophytes have their unique reproductive traits, the specific phenomena of xenia and metaxenia are most relevant to angiosperms.
