Answer 1

The correct option is A If both the assertion and the reason are true and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion

Thus the growth of each axis is checked In mosey inflorescence, the terminal flower is always older and opens earlier than the lateral ones, i.e., the order of opening of flowers is centrifugal.
