Solution

The correct option is C Squamous
Simple epithelial tissue which is composed of flattened cells with irregular boundaries is called squamous epithelium.

Cilia are hair like structures and can be present on the surface of cuboidal and columnar epithelium. If cilia are present on cuboidal and columnar epithelium, then it is known as ciliated epithelium. Cilia are absent in squamous epithelium.
