Solution

The correct option is D Inflorescence
According to Florin, the ovuliferous scale comprises a rudimentary axis bearing two megasporophylls at the base and two or three distal sterile scales. The ovuliferons scale, what he called as seed scale complex arises in the axil of the bract. Thus, the female cone of Pinus is comparable to an inflorescence of angiosperms.
