The correct option is A Raceme
In a plant the peduncle is elongated and it bears pedicillate flowers. The older flowers lie towards the base and the younger ones near the apex.

The raceme is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing pedicellate flowers flowers having short floral stalks called as pedicels along its axis.
