The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Explanation:
An inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers on the floral axis of the plant. Two major types of the inflorescence are - 1. Racemose - the shoot axis continues to grow indefinitely and the flowers are borne in acropetal succession. Examples are radish, Lupin, and mustard. 2. Cymose - the main axis terminates into a flower and has a limited growth and the flowers are borne in a basipetal order. Examples are begonia, teak, and Solanum.Hence, the correct option is (C).
