Solution

The correct option is D Ciliated epithelium
When the columnar or cuboidal cells bear cilia on their free surface they are called ciliated epithelium. Their function is to move particles or mucus in a specific direction over the epithelium organs like bronchioles and fallopian tubules.
So, the correct answer is 'Ciliated epithelium'.
