Solution

The correct option is C Stratified squamous
  • Stratified squamous epithelia are found in nearly every organ system where the body comes into close contact with the outside environment.
  • They protect the body from desiccation and have the ability to divide and redivide rapidly.
  • These cells are present from the skin to the respiratory, digestive, excretory and reproductive systems.
  • Thus stratified squamous epithelia are present in the cornea, oesophagus, urethra and vagina.
