Solution

The correct option is A Ficus
Hypanthodium is fleshy receptacle forming a hollow cavity with an apical opening called ostiole. The flowers are developed on the inner wall of the hollow cavity. The male flowers are situated at the top near the opening, at the bottom are situated the female flowers with long styles and in between both are situated short-styled gall flowers which are sterile. It is a type of cymose inflorescence. The example is Ficus (banyan, fig and gular).

So, the correct answer is 'Ficus'.
