Solution

The correct option is B Respiratory tract
Epithelial cells of the digestive tract are involved in absorption and secretion. Cilia are not necessary for both these functions.
Epithelial cells in the urinary tract are involved in absorption and transportation of ions, salts across the layer. These processes do not require cilia.
Respiratory tract carries out the function of pushing the mucus and foreign particles out. Hence, respiratory tract is lined by columnar epithelium with cilia.
Therefore, option C is correct.
