If a pollen tube does not grow from the pollen grain during gymnosperm reproduction, which of the following would be the most likely outcome?

The pollen would only be able to fertilize eggs inside the same cone.
The pollen would not be able to reach the eggs inside the female cones.
The pollen would then require a moist environment to swim to the egg.
The pollen would instead be dispersed to female cones by wind.
