Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This tissue has Goblet Cells between its rectangular cells. It is found in the lining of the stomach, intestines, and part of the respiratory tract.
A
Simple Columnar Epithelial
B
Simple Cuboidal Epithelial
C
Pseudostratified Epithelial
D
Stratified Transitional Epithelial
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glandular epithelial tissue is found dispersed throughout surface epithelium and in a variety of glands. Goblet cells are commonly found along the intestines, nasal mucosa, and respiratory tract. Secretory epithelial cells are often found along the stomach and cervical canal.

Detailed explanation-2: -Goblet cells can be found in the epithelial tissue of the Gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts. Goblet cells are simple columnar cells with an epithelial morphology that release mucins that create gels, such as MUC5AC.

Detailed explanation-3: -Goblet cells are mostly found scattered in the epithelia of the small intestines and respiratory tract. The morphology of goblet cells reflects their function, with the cell containing all the organelles necessary for the production of glycosylated proteins called mucins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Goblet cells reside throughout the length of the small and large intestine and are responsible for the production and maintenance of the protective mucus blanket by synthesizing and secreting high-molecular-weight glycoproteins known as mucins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Columnar Epithelia Goblet cells secret mucous into the digestive tract lumen. Columnar epithelial cells are taller than they are wide: they resemble a stack of columns in an epithelial layer, and are most commonly found in a single-layer arrangement.
