Solution

The correct option is B Ciliated columnar epithelium
Ciliated epithelium is formed of columnar or cuboidal epithelial cells that bear thin protoplasmic processes called cilia on their free surfaces. Ciliated epithelium lines the inner surfaces of some hollow organs such as fallopian tubes, nasal passages, bronchioles and some small bronchi, etc.
So, the correct answer is 'Ciliated columnar epithelium'.
