Solution

The correct option is C Cuboidal, stratified squamous
The cuboidal epithelium consists of cube-shaped cells. Cuboidal epithelium is found in the ducts of the glands to facilitate secretion and absorption. They also provide mechanical support. In stratified squamous epithelium, the epithelial cells are arranged in many layers to prevent wear and tear. It is found in the skin, where it performs the function of protecting the body.
So, the correct option is C.
