• On the surface of the stigma

• In the style of the flower

• Inside the pollen grain

Answer 1

In flowering plants, the female gametophyte or embryo sac is situated inside the ovule, at a distance from the stigma. This separation necessitates the formation of a pollen tube to transport male gametes from the stigma to the embryo sac.
