Solution

The correct option is C Cuboidal epithelium
Ovaries and testes are the primary reproductive organs in females and males, respectively. They are lined by cuboidal epithelium, which is also known as germinal epithelium. Cells of germinal epithelium undergo mitotic division to form primary gametophyte that further undergoes meiosis to form haploid gametes.
