Solution
The correct option is C Stratified squamous
Stratified epithelium is also a lining tissue that provides protection for underlying tissues. Stratified epithelia are normally found in places where there is a great deal of wear and tear.
Frequently, the outer surface of these epithelia is sloughed off and replaced by cells below it. Thus, the deeper layers of such epithelia (those nearest the basement membrane) are mitotically active.
One of the most common types of stratified epithelium is stratified squamous. Simple cuboidal, squamous and stratified cuboidal tissue is not formed in the area of regular wear and tear.
