The correct option is B cyathium
A cyathium is one of the specialised pseudanthia forming the inflorescence of plants in the genus Euphorbia. A cyathium consists of Five bracteoles. These are small, united bracts, which form a cup-like involucre. Their upper tips are free and in the beginning, cover the opening of the involucre.
So, the correct option is, 'cyathium'.
