Solution

The correct option is B Stratified squamous and stratified columnar
The conjunctiva is a tissue that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the sclera (the white of the eye). It is composed of unkeratinized, stratified squamous epithelium with goblet cells, and stratified columnar epithelium.
So, the correct answer is option 'b'.
