Solution

The correct option is B Lung alveoli
Squamous epithelium is also called pavement epithelium. They are composed of large flat cells arranged in a single layer. These are present in the inner linings of the lung alveoli and terminal bronchioles and are involved in the exchange of gases between lung alveoli and blood capillaries.
So, the correct answer is 'Lung alveoli'.
