- A Grows on indefinitely
- B Ends in a flower (limited)
- C Never bears any flower
- D Bears only green leaves
Correct answer: B. Ends in a flower (limited)
Explanation: In a cymose inflorescence the main axis terminates in a flower, so its growth is limited (definite).
In a dicot stem, vascular bundles are arranged in a single ring (with cambium between xylem and phloem, enabling secondary growth); in a monocot stem, bundles are scattered throughout with no cambium, so monocots can't undergo secondary growth (no wood formation).
