Consider a plant with a compound umbel inflorescence. If each ray of the main umbel bears a small, condensed cyme instead of a single flower, how would this modified inflorescence be BEST classified, and what advantage might this structure confer?
Cyme of umbels; enhanced seed dispersal
Compound raceme of umbels; protection from herbivores
Compound umbel of cymes; increased flower number and display area
Hypanthodium; trap for pollinators

A researcher observes an inflorescence where the main axis terminates in a flower, and further growth occurs through lateral branches, each of which also terminates in a flower. This pattern repeats multiple times. However, the flowers at each branching point are not at the same level. This inflorescence is BEST described as a:
