Solution

The correct option is A Vegetative apex changes into reproductive apex
  • At the time of flowering, the vegetative shoot apex transforms into reproductive shoot apex (reproductive phase).
  • This transformation of shoot apex is induced by florigen and light.
  • The summit zone of reproductive shoot apex is active as the rate of cell division is greater and it forms stamens & carpels.
  • Whereas, the flank zone is less active in reproductive shoot apex and it forms sepals and petals.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Vegetative apex changes into reproductive apex'.
