Solution

The correct option is B Transitional epithelium
Ciliated epithelium moves particles or mucus in a particular direction over the epithelium. It is seen in columnar cells (E.g: Oviducts), cuboidal cells (E.g: Some parts of the nephron) and pseudostratified cells (E.g: Goblet cells).

Transitional epithelium is compound epithelial cells and hence they are always non-ciliated. E.g: Urinary bladder.
