The flower is the modified shoot because of the following characters are seen in it:

Flower parts are borne on the condensed axis called the thalamus that has nodes and internodes.
The internodes in some cases elongate and are called anthophore (between calyx and corolla), androphore (between Corolla and androecium) and gynophore (between androecium and gynoecium).
The arrangement of the floral whorls resembles phyllotaxy.
The thalamus sometimes shows the monstrous development, that it continues to grow as vegetative shoot after the formation of the flower.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Flower is modified shoot'.
