Solution

The correct option is A Pseudo stratified epithelium
In the tracheal linings and the linings of the upper respiratory tract, the cells appear stratified. They are tightly packed and their nuclei are placed in a forced manner giving a stratified appearance. This epithelium consists of ciliated cells to trap the dust particles and pathogens that may harm the respiratory system. Thus the correct answer is option A.
