The cymose inflorescence is also known as determinate inflorescence and is characterized by the presence of a flower at the apex of the floral axis. The main axis has limited growth in this case. The lateral axis terminates into a flower and limits the growth of the axis. Flowers are arranged in basipetal succession in this type of inflorescence. Thus, younger flowers are present at the base and the older flowers are placed terminally on the axis. This arrangement is also called a centrifugal arrangement with the older flowers in the middle and the younger ones present in the periphery. Hence, option 1 is the correct answer.
