Solution

The correct option is C Top senescence
Senescence refers to a number of controlled processes which finally culminate in the death of the plant part. There are different forms of senescence which are observed in the plants during ageing.In certain plants, the senescence process starts from the apical part of the shoot. This type of senescence is known as top senescence. This occurs after the process of flowering and fruiting in some plants.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
