Answer

  1. Simple squamous epithelium

Explanation:

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'.
