Solution

The correct option is B Cuboidal
Cuboidal epithelia have a cube-like shape; that is, their width is approximately equal to their height. They may exist in single layers or multiple layers depending on their location in the body.
The Bartholin's glands (also called Bartholin glands or greater vestibular glands) are two pea-sized compound racemose glands which are located slightly posterior and to the left and right of the opening of the vagina. They secrete mucus to lubricate the vagina. They are composed of cuboidal epithelium.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
