Solution

The correct option is C Transition
The cells of apical layer of transitional epithelium have the capacity of changing shapes according to the required situation. These cells appear to be cuboidal with a domed apex when the organ or the tube in which they reside is not stretched. When the organ or tube is stretched (e.g. when the bladder is filled with urine), the tissue compresses and the cells become stretched.
So, the correct option is 'Transition'.
