Solution

The correct option is B
Cuboidal

Due to larger cytoplasmic volumes, cuboidal cells can undertake more complex functions such as absorption and secretion. Most secretory cells of glands are cuboidal epithelial cells. In addition, the ducts of most exocrine glands are lined by cuboidal cells as are most of the tubules in the kidneys.
