Solution

The correct option is B Transitional epithelium
Transitional epithelium functions as a barrier between the lumen, or inside hollow space of the tract that it lines and the bloodstream.
To help achieve this, the cells of transitional epithelium are connected by tight junctions, that seal together to the cellular membranes of neighboring cells.
This barrier prevents re-absorption of toxic wastes and pathogens by the bloodstream.
So, the correct option is 'Transitional epithelium'.
