Solution

The correct option is A
Selectively Permeable

The surface of simple squamous epithelium is selectively permeable. It allows only certain substances to pass through it. The simple squamous epithelium is found in capillaries, alveoli, glomeruli and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required. Since this tissue is extremely thin, it is associated with filtration and diffusion.
