Solution

The correct option is A Tessellated
The inner lining of the blood vessels is formed of simple squamous epithelial cells called endothelial cells that help in faster diffusion and also act as a semi-selective barrier. Since these cells have a wavy outline they are said to be tessellated.
So, the correct option is 'Tesselated'.
