Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: All cells of a simple epithelium will attach to the basal lamina of the basement membrane, which is also the layer of the basement membrane that is secreted by the epithelium. Basal lamina and reticular lamina are the two layers of the basement membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -The basal lamina, a mixture of glycoproteins and collagen, provides an attachment site for the epithelium, separating it from underlying connective tissue. The basal lamina attaches to a reticular lamina, which is secreted by the underlying connective tissue, forming a basement membrane that helps hold it all together.
