Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
Helianthus flower is not a real flower. It is because the real flowers are small but in Helianthus (sunflower), flower head (pseudanthium) is sometimes very large. The flower head is a special type of inflorescence which includes a small cluster to flowers to form a single flower-like structure. So, the correct answer is C.
