The correct option is D Ciliated epithelium Epithelia are formed of cells that line the cavities in the body and also cover flat surfaces. Epithelial cells are bound together in sheets of tissue called epithelia. These sheets are held together by several types of interactions including tight junctions, adherens, desmosomes and gap junctions. Thus, the correct answer is the option (D), 'Ciliated epithelium'.
