Solution

The correct option is C Verticillaster
There are two clusters each with 3-9 flowers on a node in the axis of opposite leaf and each cluster has a condensed dichasial cyme ending in monochasial cyme and flowers have lever mechanism, it represents Verticillaster. A cymose inflorescence arranged in pairs at the nodes, in the manner of a false whorl, is called a verticillaster. A reduced raceme or cyme that grows in the axis of a bract is called a fascicle. A verticillaster is a fascicle with the structure of a dichasium; it is common among the Laminaceae. Many verticillasters with reduced bracts can form a spicate (spike-like) inflorescence that is commonly called a spike.
