Solution

The correct option is B

Stratified Epithelial Tissue


Stratified Epithelial Tissue has multiple layers of cells adhered to each other without any gaps and therefore the top layers can be slewed off and replaced from within. They hence form the outermost surface of the skin and the linings of the mouth and esophagus.
