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.
