Answer» Correct Answer - D
In angiosperms the female gametophyte is seataed deep in the ovarian cavity, quite away from the stigma. The pollen (male gametophyte) is normally held at the stigma. In seed plants the male gametes are brought to the egg containing female gametophyte by a pollen tube. A pollen grain does not pass down the stigma. Only its pollen tube does so.
