Inflorescence is the arrangement of flowers on the plant. But the inflorescence does not just deal with the pattern with which the flower is arranged. The type of inflorescence also dictates where the new flowers bloom.

The correct option is A True
The arrangement of flowers on the floral axis is termed as inflorescence. There are some plants in which the older flowers are found at the apex and the new flowers bloom at the base. There are plants where the case is also directly opposite to this. In the first case, the type of inflorescence is termed cymose and the of order of maturation or succession of flowers here is called basipetal, with oldest flower at the top and younger flowers below. On the other hand, acropetal maturation is seen in racemose inflorescence where new flowers bloom near the apex and the older flowers are near the base.
