Solution

The correct option is C Apical
After the germination of pollen grains on stigma pollen tube is produced through a germ pore . Pollen tube grows chemotropically through the tissue of stigma and style in response to sugary fluid.
No intercalary meristem is present so pollen tube cannot exhibit intercalary growth , because of chemical stimulus pollen tube grows apically and not basally or diffused.
So the correct option is ‘apical’
