Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

Structure: Thin, flat, delicate

The diagram represents a squamous epithelium tissue. The cells of this tissue are flat, thin and arranged in a single layer. They are found in areas which perform selective absorption like oesaphagus, lining of mouth, lungs alveoli, and blood vessels. The binding of tissues and organs are carried out by a different tissue known as connective tissue.
