Solution

The correct option is C Transition epithelium
The epithelium lining the urinary bladder (urothelium) is composed of transitional epithelium because it possesses the capacity of expansion when the volume is increased, unlike other tissue which tear apart on applying large pressure. This allows the storage of urine until a convenient time allows it's elimination.
So, the correct option is 'Transitional epithelium'.
