Solution
The correct option is C Spike of spikelet
In Triticum aestivum the inflorescence found is spike of spikelet. A spike is an unbranched, indeterminate inflorescence, similar to a raceme, but bearing sessile flowers.
A spikelet can refer to a small spike, although it is primarily used to refer
to the ultimate flower cluster unit in grasses and sedges, in which case the stalk supporting the cluster becomes the pedicel. A true spikelet comprises one or more florets enclosed by two glumes (sterile bracts), with flowers and glumes arranged in two opposite rows along the spikelet.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
