Length of pollen tube depends on the distance between
(a) pollen grain and upper surface of stigma
(b) pollen grain on upper surface of stigma and ovule
(c) pollen grain in anther and upper surface of stigma
(d) upper surface of stigma and lower part of style
The correct answer is (d) upper surface of stigma and lower part of style
The pollen tube helps in transporting pollen grains to the ovule inside which eggs are present. The pollen germinates on the upper surface of the stigma. Hence, the length of the pollen tube will depend on the distance between the upper surface of the stigma and the lower part of the ovule and it will ensure that pollen reaches the stigma and pollination is successful.
Hence, (d) is the correct option.
