Solution
The correct option is
B
basement membrane
The epithelial tissues usually rest on a thin, non-cellular proteinaceous basement membrane.
Tight junctions stop substances from leaking across a tissue.
Transitional epithelium are a type of compound epithelial cells without a basement membrane. E.g: Urinary bladder.
