During microspore formation, cellular differentiation occurs and generative and vegetative cells are formed. The generative cell produces two sperm cells whereas the vegetative cell produces the pollen tube which helps to deliver the male gametes to the embryo sac. Therefore, if a laser beam kills the generative cell, it will not affect the normal pollen tube formation.Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
