B) Animals
C) Bacteria
D) Protozoa
E) Flowering plants

Accepted Answer

Allopolyploidy is a significant factor in the evolution of flowering plants. It involves the combination of chromosomes from different species through hybridization and subsequent chromosome doubling, leading to new species with genetic contributions from both parent species. This process has played a crucial role in the diversification and evolution of flowering plants.
