Answer 1

The correct option is B One : Many

Cyathium looks like a single flower. A cup-shaped involucre formed by bracts encloses a single female flower and a number of male flowers. Each male flower is represented by single stamen while a single pistil represents a female flower. It is type of cymose inflorescence. Example is euphorbia. Therefore, the ratio is one : many.

So. the correct answer is 'One: Many'.
