The correct Answer is:
To determine where flowers are sessile, we need to analyze the given options and understand what sessile means in the context of flowers. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Sessile Flowers**: - Sessile flowers are those that are attached directly to the plant without a stalk (peduncle). This means they are directly connected to the stem or branch. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Resume**: This option does not seem relevant to the context of flowers. - **Spike**: In a spike inflorescence, flowers are arranged along a central stem and are sessile, meaning they do not have individual stalks. - **Corymb**: In a corymb, flowers are borne on stalks of varying lengths that arise from different points on the stem, making them not sessile. - **Amber**: This term does not relate to flower morphology and is likely a distractor. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: - Since we established that in a spike, the flowers are sessile, the correct answer is **Spike**. ### Final Answer: Flowers are sessile in **Spike**. ---
