Solution

The correct option is B Cyathium and cymose
Cyanthium and cymose are the same. Each cyathium or cymose is actually a flower cluster or inflorescence containing unisexual, apetalous male and female flowers. The inconspicuous male flowers occur in clusters and are reduced to a single red stamen, while the female flower consists of a single ovary (pistil) on a stalk (pedicel).
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
