Solution

The correct option is B Squamous epithelium
If the epithelium is composed of one layer of cells, it is referred to as simple squamous epithelium and if it possesses multiple layers, it is referred to as stratified squamous epithelium.
The peritoneum is the serous membrane that forms the lining of the abdominal cavity or coelom. It covers most of the intra-abdominal (or coelomic) organs and is composed of a layer of mesothelium supported by a thin layer of connective tissue. The mesothelium is a membrane composed of simple squamous cells that form the lining of several body cavities like peritoneum.
Hence the correct option is D.
