Solution

The correct option is D Simple squamous epithelium
Blood vessels are lined by single-layered simple squamous epithelium tissue called the endothelium. The endothelium is the thin layer of cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels. It helps in the exchange of materials like gases and nutrients between the blood and the body tissues.
