Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This epithelial tissue looks like it might be multiple layers due some of the cells not making it altheway to the surface, however, it is really just one layer.
A
Pseudostratified Columnar
B
Stratified Cuboidal
C
Simple Columnar
D
Stratified Squamous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Stratified: A stratified epithelium is made up of more than one layer of cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelium that appears to be stratified but instead consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and differently sized columnar cells. In pseudostratified epithelium, nuclei of neighboring cells appear at different levels rather than clustered in the basal end.

Detailed explanation-3: -Respiratory epithelium is ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium found lining most of the respiratory tract; it is not present in the larynx or pharynx.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stratified squamous epithelium has multiple layers of cells becoming flattened as they move from the basal layer to the apical layers.
