Solution

The correct option is C Epithelial
Epithelial tissue covers and protects many organs and cavities within the body. The linings of blood vessels, lung alveoli and kidney tubules are all made up of epithelial tissue. Blood vessels and lung alveoli are lined by a single layer of squamous epithelial cells whereas kidney tubules are lined by cuboidal epithelial cells that provide mechanical support.
Hence the correct option is C.
