• B. Tissue: (d) Smooth muscle tissue; Location: Heart; Function: Heart contraction
• C. Tissue: (a) Columnar epithelium; Location: Nephron; Function: Secretion and absorption
• D. Tissue: (b) Glandular epithelium; Location: Intestine; Function: Secretion

Answer 1

The correct option is D Tissue: (b) Glandular epithelium; Location: Intestine; Function: Secretion

Glandular epithelial cells are specialized epithelial cells, that secrete hormones or enzymes. They are component of glands. In the intestine there are various types of glands present, so glandular epithelium also present in them. The function of glandular epithelium is synthesis and secretion of hormone or enzymes.
