The correct option is A R, S

Cymose inflorescence is characterized by the main flowering stalk ending in a flower and the peduncle stops growing. This results in the production of flowers from lateral buds. Further, the flowers in this type of inflorescence shows basipetal succession with the oldest at the apex and youngest at the base. For e.g., Hibiscus, periwinkle etc.
Hypanthodium is a special type of inflorescence where the peduncle is fleshy forming a hollow cup with an apical opening with sessile flowers inside. For e.g., Ficus.
Synandrous stamens where both and filaments and anthers are joined in the same whorl as in Cucurbita maxima.
Hesperidium type of fruit is a berry which has a tough aromatic rind as is found in Citrus sinesis (orange) and Citrus medica.
