Solution

The correct option is A Epithelial
The alveoli in the lungs are where the gaseous exchange takes place. Alveoli are lined by a single layer of squamous epithelial cells. These are the thin layered cells which allows the passage of the gases through the tissues during external respiration.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
