The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Raceme/Racemose Inflorescence**: - Raceme is a type of inflorescence where flowers are arranged along a central stem (peduncle). - Each flower is attached by a short stalk called a pedicel. 2. **Arrangement of Flowers**: - In racemose inflorescence, the flowers are arranged in a specific order. - The flowers at the base of the stem bloom first, followed by those above them. 3. **Direction of Flower Development**: - The term "acropetal" refers to the arrangement where the flowers develop from the base towards the apex (top) of the stem. - This means that the older flowers are at the bottom, and the younger flowers are at the top. 4. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - The options provided are: acropetal, basipetal, centipetal, and centrifugally. - Since the flowers in a raceme develop from the base to the top, the correct term to describe this arrangement is "acropetal". 5. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the flowers in a racemose inflorescence are arranged acropetally. ### Final Answer: The flowers in racemose inflorescence are arranged **acropetally**. ---
