The statement in Option 2 is incorrect because it confuses the definition of cross-pollination. Cross-pollination refers to transferring pollen grains from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower, not within the same flower. In cross-pollination, pollen is transferred between different plants of the same species, promoting genetic diversity. Hence, option 2 becomes the correct answer for this question.
