Solution
The correct option is C Endosperm
Xenia in plants is the effect of pollen grains on seeds and fruit. The term was coined in 1881 by botanist Wilhelm Olbers Focke to refer to effects on maternal tissues, including the seed coat and pericarp, but at that time endosperm was also thought to be a maternal tissue, and the term became closely associated with endosperm effects.
so, the correct answer is 'Endosperm'
