Solution

The correct option is A Umbellate cyme
In Allium cepa, inflorescence is umbellate cyme. An umbel is an inflorescence which consists of a number of short flower stalks which spread from a common point, somewhat like umbrella ribs. The arrangement can vary from being flat topped to almost spherical. Umbels can be simple or compound. The secondary umbels of compound umbels are known as umbellules. A small umbel is called as an umbellule. The arrangement of the inflorescence in umbels is referred to as umbellate or occasionally subumbellate.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
