The correct option is A Protection
Squamous epithelium is a type of epithelium tissue. The cells of this tissue are thin, flat and closely packed. These are found in cavities of mouth, oesophagus, alveoli and blood vessels. This tissue gives protection against mechanical injury and also blocks the entry of pathogens or germs.
So, the correct option is 'Protection'.
