Solution

The correct option is A
Bowman's Capsule

Squamous simple epithelial tissue is found in the inner lining of lungs and on the surface of most organs but it is present abundantly in the Bowman's capsule of a nephron. It is required where rapid diffusion of substances happen and they are quite permeable. In fact in the Bowman's capsule it aids in ultrafiltration.
