Answer 1

The correct option is A $1$

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 a single stamen while a single pistil represents a female flower. Example: euphorbia.

So, the correct answer is '1'.
