Solution

The wing of an aircraft typically generates lift. This is the primary function of the wings. They are designed in a specific shape - a shape that causes the air to move faster over the top of the wing than below it, resulting in an upward push, or lift.

However, the wings do not provide pitch control or pitch stability. These are provided by other parts of the aircraft. The elevators (on the tail) control the pitch of the plane, which is the up and down movement. The horizontal stabilizer (also on the tail) helps to maintain the aircraft's stability in pitch.

So, the answer to your question would be "Generates lift".
