Answer=> option (c) peduncle

Answer 2

The correct answer to this question is option (b) peduncle.

The stem that holds the entire inflorescence is referred to as the peduncle.

The primary axis which is sometimes incorrectly called the main stem holds the branches or the flowers in the inflorescence is referred to as the rachis.

The pedicel is actually the stalk of all the individual flowers.
