Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Cyathium is a special kind of inflorescence found in Euphorbia. In cyathium, there is a cup-shpaed involucre often provided with nector secreting glands. The involucre encloses a single female flower (reduced to a pistil) in the centre, seated on a comparatively long stalk and a number of male flowers, (each reduced to solitary stamen) around this, seated on short stalks. The flowers follow the centrifugal (cymose) order or development. The female flowers in the centre mature first, then the stamens (male flower) just surrounding it and ultimately, the marginal ones.
