The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Inflorescence**: Inflorescence refers to the arrangement of flowers on a plant. It is important to know the different types of inflorescence to identify the specific type present in a plant family. 2. **Types of Inflorescence**: - **Racemos**: In this type, the main axis does not terminate in a flower, allowing continuous growth. Flowers are borne laterally along the axis. - **Simoes**: Here, the main axis terminates in a flower, stopping the growth of the plant. The flowers are arranged at the end of the main axis. - **Scythium**: This is a cup-shaped inflorescence, often found in unisexual flowers, where both male and female reproductive organs are present. - **Hypanthodium**: This type is typically seen in Ficus plants, where male flowers are surrounded by female flowers. 3. **Inflorescence in Liliaceae**: The Liliaceae family typically exhibits a solitary or simoes type of inflorescence. In this case, the flowers are borne at the end of the main axis, which means that the growth of the plant stops at the flowering stage. 4. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the inflorescence in Liliaceae is generally classified as solitary or simoes type. ---
