Solution

The correct option is C Unlimited growth of axis
Cymose inflorescence refers to a kind of flowering shoot in which the first flower develops from the main axis (flower stalk), and thereby it terminates the growth of the axis. The new flowers and buds are produced from lateral branches. The arrangement of flowers in cymose inflorescence is basipetal. Thus, in cymose inflorescence the growth of axis is limited.
