Solution
The correct option is C Compositae
Undoubtedly the most noteworthy plants to present their flowers in a capitulum are those in the aster family, Asteraceae. Also called as the Compositae because their capitulum often includes two types of flowers in a special mixed cluster, these capitula often resemble large individual blossoms. The flowers are individually tiny; aggregation in a capitulum facilitates assembly-line pollination, whereby one floral visitor can deliver pollen to, and remove it from, many flowers in one foraging bout.
Liliaceae family shows bracteate inflorescence. Papilionaceae family shows receme inflorescence. Rosaceae family shows solitary, receme or cyme inflorescence.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
