Q.

Assertion: Pollen grains reach directly to the egg, which is seated deep in the ovarian cavity.
Reason: To effect fertilisation, the pollen grains germinate on the stigma.

1 Both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of assertion  
2 Both assertion and reason are correct but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.  
3 Assertion is true but Reason is false.  
4 Assertion is false but Reason is true.

In angiosperms the female gametophyte is seated deep in the ovarian cavity, quite away from 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. Thus, assertion is false but reason is true.
