Solution

The correct option is B Epithelial
Epithelial tissue's main purpose is to cover surfaces and line the cavities. This means it is also associated with glands which are the groups of cells specialized in producing a substance that is sent out to other parts of the body.
There are two types of glands that are lined with epithelial tissue:
1) Exocrine glands: these are the ducts that carry out the secretion, such as sweat or oil for your hair follicles.
2) Endocrine Glands: They depends on the blood flowing through the duct to carry the secretions to another organ. These secretions are hormones.
Hence the correct option is A.
