  • A
    Cuboidal epithelium
  • B
    Ciliated epithelium
  • ✓
    Simple squamous epithelium

    Stratified epithelium
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
Simple squamous epithelium
Simple squamous cells have the appearance of thin, flat plates.
They have horizontal flattened, elliptical nuclei because of the thin flattened form of the cell.
As they consist of a single layer or flattened sac$-$like cells, it resembles $'$pavement$'$ and hence, simple squamous cells are called $'$pavement epithelium$'$.
