Answer 1

The correct option is A A single flower

The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis of the plant is known as inflorescence. It is of two major types - racemose and cymose. Cymose inflorescence, the main axis (peduncle) terminates into a flower and hence has limited growth, therefore it ends in a single flower. The flowers are arranged in basipetal order. Example: teak.

So, the correct answer is 'a single flower'.
