Answer 1

It is the second option

Answer 2

to catch pollen as it spreads through the wind

Step-by-step explanation:

Flowering plants use various pollinating agents to ensure pollination. Wind-pollinated flowers release their pollen in the wind which in turn carry them to the stigma of the same flower or of different flower present on the same or different tree. Wind-pollinated flowers have long style and large stigma to ensure the landing of wind carried pollen on the stigma.
