Answer 1

Hint:An inflorescence is a group or cluster of flowers consisting of a main branch or a complex arrangement of branches arranged on a stem. Brassica campestris belongs to the family Brassicaceae of the Kingdom of Plantae. It is a plant of angiosperm. It is commonly known as the oil-producing yellow mustard. Mustards, cabbages, and cruciferous vegetables are members of this family. The genus is originally from Asia and parts of Western Europe.

Complete answer:A. A raceme is in which the peduncle has acropetally arranged bisexual and pedicellate flowers. It is a type of inflorescence which is racemose. Radish is an example.
B. Corymb, of which there is a short main axis. Lower flowers have long pedicels than upper ones so that all the flowers are taken more or less to the same amount. It is a type of inflorescence which is racemose. Iberis is an example.
C. In the mustard family (Brassica campestris), Corymbose raceme can be found.
D. The spadix is a spike that has both male and female flowers with a fleshy axis. It is surrounded by large spathe-called colored bracts. It is a type of inflorescence which is racemose. The palm is an example.
Thus C-' Corymbose raceme' is the right answer.

Note:The Brassica genus contains a number of plants, including bok choy, turnips, mustard cabbages, mustard, etc. It has an enormous impact on India's agricultural and horticultural societies. The culinary and medicinal use of these plants is prominent. The vegetables of the Brassica family have high concentrations of Vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese. Few plants like Lepidium are used as medicines to treat cough, asthma. As ornamental plants, some are used. Aestivation implies the arrangement of a flower with petals and sepals. The sepals and petals do not overlap in valve estivation. Rather they are separately present.
