A
Simple Squamous Epithelial
B
Stratified Squamous Epithelial
C
Pseudostratified Epithelial
D
Stratified Transitional Epithelial
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lining epithelium: The urinary bladder lining is a specialized stratified epithelium, the urothelium. The urothelium is exclusively in urinary structures such as the ureter, urinary bladder, and proximal urethra.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stratified: A stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transitional epithelium is a layer of cells that forms the mucosal lining of your ureters, a portion of your urethra, and your urinary bladder. These cells are called transitional because they can undergo a change in their shape and structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the bladder is stretched, the transitional epithelial cells are columnar in shape. Lamina propria is areolar connective tissue of a mucus membrane. Fibroblasts are the major type of cell found in hyaline cartilage. The stratified epithelium lining the esophagus is non-keratinized.
