Solution

The correct option is A Lungs
The hairs in this epithelium are called cilia, they move back and forth to help move particles out of our body. We find ciliated epithelial tissue in our respiratory tract and in the fallopian tubes of women. Ciliated epithelium contains goblet cells, which secrete mucous.
