The correct option is A Transitional epithelium
Urinary bladder has a inner lining of transitional epithelium. Cells of transitional epithelium can change their shape and structure and hence prevent the rupture of urinary bladder by performing expansion and contraction during excretion.
So, the correct answer is 'Transitional epithelium'.
