Answer 1

Answer: (D)

Statement in option (d) is incorrect and can be corrected as
A flower is a modified shoot where in the shoot apical meristem changes to floral meristem. Internodes do not elongate and the axis gets condensed. The apex produces different kinds of floral appendages laterally at successive nodes instead of leaves.
