Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
In Cycas there is no true and compact or properly organised female cone.
Megasporophylls are loosely arranged and thus form a loose female strobilus.
The growing point of the stem is unaffected by their development and continues its growth through the loose strobilus.
