Answer: Option C

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Rice inflorescence is called a Panicle.
Panicles form the rice inflorescence. It is the top part of the rice plant, carried on the last inter-node. Panicles are composed of primary ramifications (small branches) that carry secondary branches themselves carrying the pedicels which carry the spikelets.
The inflorescence of the rice plant is borne on terminal shoots and is thus called a panicle. It is the determinate type and at maturity, it is droopy.
