Dioecious plants are those that have male and female reproductive structures on separate individuals. In dioecious plants with staminate flowers, only male flowers are present, which contain stamens that produce pollen. Since there are no pistillate flowers with female reproductive structures, pollination can occur but there will be no female organs to receive the pollen and facilitate fertilization. As a result, no seeds will be set despite the process of pollination. Therefore, Option 2 is the correct answer.
