Solution

The correct option is C Cuboidal epithelium
Part of a nephron that is involved in maximum selective reabsorption is the tubular part; the proximal convoluted tubule and loop of Henle. Reabsorption of water also takes place in collecting ducts. The cells lining the lumen of PCT are cuboidal epithelial cells with brush border. A loop of Henle is lined by squamous epithelial tissue. Cells of collecting duct are either cuboidal or columnar.
