Solution

The correct option is C Respiratory tract
In the respiratory tract, the columnar epithelial tissue has cilia, which are basically hair-like projections on the outer surfaces of epithelial cells. These cilia can move, and their movement pushes the mucus forward, to clear it.
So, the correct answer is option A.
