Solution

The correct option is D Fallopian tube
The function of simple cuboidal epithelium absorbing, secreting or releasing substances. Therefore it is found lining various glands like salivary glands, in the kidney tubules, etc. It does not line the fallopian tube or the oviduct that connects the ovary to the uterus. Here, the function of pushing the egg released by the ovary towards the uterus is done by ciliated columnar epithlium.
So, the correct answer is 'Fallopian tube'
