Solution
The correct option is C Ciliated epithelium
Ciliated epithelium is made of simple columnar cells but possesses fine hair-like cilia on their free surfaces.
These cells are found in the respiratory tract, from the posterior third of the nose to the bronchioles, also present in the uterus and fallopian tubes of females.
Ciliated epithelium performs the function of moving particles or fluid over the epithelial surface.
