Solution

The correct option is C Simple squamous epithelium
Simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of polygonal-shaped squamous cells that lines the surfaces which are involved in filtration, gaseous exchange, or circulation. Since Bowman’s capsule is required for filtration, it is lined by simple squamous epithelium.
