Solution

The correct option is D A and C
Compound epithelium is made up of more than one layer (multi-layered) of cells and thus, has a limited role in secretion and absorption. Their main function is to provide protection against chemical and mechanical stresses. They cover the dry surface of the skin, the moist surface of buccal cavity, pharynx, inner lining of ducts of salivary glands and of pancreatic ducts.
