Solution

The correct option is C Spadix
In Musaceae, the type of inflorescence found is spadix. The Musaceae are a family of flowering plants, placed in the order Zingiberales. Flowering glumes are the lower and stouter of the two glumes immediately enclosing the floret. They form small dry membranous bract found in inflorescences of Gramineae and Cyperaceae. A spadix is a type of spike inflorescence having small flowers borne on a fleshy stem. Spadix are typical of the family Araceae, the arums or aroids. The spadix is typically surrounded by a leaf-like curved bract known as a spathe.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
