  • A substance known as sporopollenin covers the pollen grain, or male gametophyte, in a thick outer layer known as exine.
  • The exine may be extremely thin and devoid of sporopollenin in some locations; This is known as the germ pore.
  • When the pollen grain lands on the stigma, the germ pore causes the pollen tube to initiate and elongate.

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
