Solution
The correct option is A Dahlia
The evolutionary most advanced inflorescence is found in Dahlia. Dahlia variety being octoploids that is, they have eight sets of homologous chromosomes, whereas most plants have only two, are considered more advanced evolutionary. Heads of Dahlias very often resemble single flowers but are a collection of flowers clustered on the apex of the peduncle which may be flattened or rounded to accommodate all the flowers. The plants of the daisy family (Asteraceae) e.g., the sunflower and the Dahlia, are well known for their head inflorescences in which the flowers to the outside of the inflorescence often have one enlarged petal.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
