Solution
The correct option is B fallopian tube
If the columnar or cuboidal epithelial cells bear cilia on their free surface, they are called the ciliated epithelium. Their function is to move particles or mucus in a specific direction over the epithelium. They are mainly present in the inner surface of hollow organs like bronchioles and fallopian tubes.
The oesophageal lining is protected by a stratified squamous epithelium. The inner surface of the stomach is lined by a mucous membrane known as the gastric mucosa. The mucosa is always covered by a layer of thick mucus that is secreted by tall columnar epithelial cells.
Hence, the correct answer is fallopian tube.
