Solution

The correct option is D Ciliated columnar epithelium
The mouth leads into a wide and broad oral or buccal cavity which lies in between the two jaws-the upper and the lower jaw. The upper jaw is fixed or immovable, while the lower jaw is hinged and can be freely moved up and down in the vertical plane. The buccal cavity is lined by ciliated, columnar epithelium which contains mucus-secreting glands. Mucus lubricates the food. In the frog, salivary glands are absent.
So the correct answer is 'Ciliated columnar epithelium'.
