Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Presence of unisexual flower

In hypanthodium inflorescence, flowers are developed on an inner wall of the hollow cavity. Here, male flowers are situated at the top near the opening, at the bottom are situated the female flowers with a long axis and in between both are situated short-styled gall flowers which are sterile. Thus it has unisexual flowers. So A is the answer.
