The correct option is A Columnar

A simple columnar epithelium is a uni-layered epithelium. Most of the organs of humans are made up of, a simple columnar epithelium, especially it lines the digestive tract including the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine. It also lines the uterus. This kind of epithelium secretes mucus, which acts as a lubricant. Single-layered non-ciliated columnar epithelium contributes to illustrate an absorptive function. The stratified columnar epithelium is rare but is found in lobar ducts in the salivary glands, the eye, pharynx and sex organs.
