Solution

The correct option is D B - Multicellular gland; Location: Buccal cavity; Function: Secretes Saliva
Some of the columnar or cuboidal cells get specialised for secretion and are called glandular epithelium. They are mainly of two types: unicellular, consisting of isolated glandular cells (gobletcells of the alimentary canal), and multicellular, consisting of cluster of cells (salivary gland).
