Solution

The correct option is A alveoli
Simple squamous non-ciliated epithelia are found in capillaries, alveoli, and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required. Cells are flat with flattened and oblong nuclei. It is also called pavement epithelium due to its tile-like appearance. The bronchi are lined by ciliated, pseudostratified columnar epithelium and bronchioles are lined by simple cuboidal epithelium. So, the correct option is 'alveoli'.
