Solution

The correct option is B Simple squamous epithelium
Simple squamous epithelial cells are thin and flat cells having a large surface area that is exposed to the lumen on one side and to the basement membrane on the other side. The cells are scale-like in appearance. They tend to have larger, elliptically-shaped nuclei. As a simple type of epithelium, the simple squamous epithelium is one cell-layer thick and thus every cell of the tissue comes in direct contact with the basement membrane. The endothelium is a type of epithelium that lines the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels. It is a thin layer of simple squamous cells called endothelial cells.
Hence the correct option is C.
