Solution
The correct option is C Ciliated epithelium Ciliated epithelium is present as a lining in body structures where mucus is present and the cilia or microvilli present on the exposed surface of the epithelial cells push the mucus towards the outside example in bronchioles and bronchi to remove dust particles and pathogen. It is also present in the fallopian tube or the oviduct to push the egg or ova towards the uterus. Squamous epithelium is found in the lining of blood vessels, columnar epithelium is found in the lining of the gut and cuboidal in secretory organs.
