Solution
The correct option is D
Assertion is incorrect but Reason is correct.
The assertion is wrong but the statement, In Cymose inflorescence the main axis does not end in a flower, but it grows continuously and develops flowers on its lateral sides in acropetal succession. The flowers are arranged in a centrifugal manner, and the oldest flower is at the center and the young flowers are towards the margin. Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
