Solution

The correct option is D

Triticum


In racemose infloresence, the main axis continues to grow, and the flowers are borne in an acropetal order (older towards the base and younger towards the apex). Triticum (wheat) has a compound racemose inflorescence.

In cymose inflorescence, the growth of the peduncle is definite, and terminates in a flower. The arrangement of flowers is basipetal. Begonia, Calotropis (ak) and Jasminum have cymose inflorescence.
