Choose the correct statement.

Options

A. Acropetal arrangement of flower is homologous to centripetal arrangement
B. Acropetal is homologous to centrifugal arrangement
C. Acropetal is homologous to cymose inflorescence
D. none of the above.

Answer

To solve the question, "Choose the correct statement," we need to analyze the provided options regarding flower arrangements:

1. **Understanding Acropetal Arrangement**:
- Acropetal arrangement refers to a type of floral arrangement where the younger flowers are located at the apex (top) of the inflorescence, while the older flowers are at the base. This is a modified form of racemose inflorescence.

2. **Understanding Centripetal Arrangement**:
- In centripetal arrangement, the younger flowers are located at the center of the inflorescence, while the older flowers are at the periphery.

3. **Analyzing the Options**:
- **Option 1**: "Acropetal arrangement of flower is homologous to centripetal arrangement."
- This statement is **incorrect** because acropetal arrangement has young flowers at the apex, while centripetal has young flowers at the center.

- **Option 2**: "Acropetal is homologous to centripetal arrangement."
- This statement is also **incorrect** for the same reason as above.

- **Option 3**: "Acropetal is homologous to Simos in fluorescence."
- This statement is **incorrect** because acropetal arrangement is a modification of racemose inflorescence, not simose.

- **Option 4**: "None of the above."
- Since all previous options are incorrect, this option is **correct**.

4. **Conclusion**:
- The correct answer is **Option 4: None of the above**.
