The largest subgroup of a Lie group

Let $G$ be a connceted Lie group, note $d(G)$ as the maximal integer $p$ such that $\mathbb{Z}^p$ is isomorphic to a discrete subgroup of $G$ and $c(G)$ is the maximal integer $q$ such that $\mathbb{R}^q$ is isomorphic to a closed subgroup of $G$.

My question: are we always have $c(G) \leq d(G)$?
