Answer 1

Hint: A cyme is a flat-topped inflorescence where as in the onion, the central flowers first open, followed by the peripheral flowers. Cymule is a small cyme that is part of a compound cyme, or one of very few flowers. Monochasial cyme is a cyme with only one lateral flower or branch emerging from under a terminal flower, resulting in an inflorescence of helicoid or scorpiod.

Complete answer:
Datura is a genus of nine poisonous vespertine flowering plant species belonging to the Solanaceae family. In the flowering plant family Convolvulaceae, Ipomoea is the largest genus. Solanum is a large and diverse genus of flowering plants containing three highly economically important food crops: potatoes, tomatoes and eggplants. In the dogbane family Apocynaceae, Nerium oleander, most commonly known as nerium or oleander, is a shrub or small tree.

Datura is an annual or perennial herb resembling a shrub,
Inflorescence - axillary and solitary cyme,

Solanum is a genus of flowering plants that is wide and diverse.
Inflorescence - Monochasial cyme,

Within the dogbane family Apocynaceae, Nerium oleander is a shrub or small tree.
Inflorescence - Cymule

Ipomoea is the largest genus in the Convolvulaceae family of flowering plants.
Inflorescence - Cyme polychasal.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D).
