Solution

The correct option is D Fallopian tube
Simple cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelium that consists of a single layer of tightly packed cuboidal (cube-like) epithelial cells which have large, spherical and central nuclei. The cells of these tissues are specialised to perform secretion and absorption.
Simple cuboidal epithelium forms the covering of the ovary. It is also found in the small collecting ducts of the kidneys, pancreas, and salivary glands and in the follicles of the thyroid gland.
The lining of the fallopian tube is made up of ciliated columnar epithelium.
