which epithelial tissue stretches and changes shape as the bladder fills?
A
simple squamous
B
stratified squamous
C
pseudostratified ciliated columnar
D
transitional
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -However, the bladder wall stretches to accommodate the increased volume when the urinary bladder fills with urine. The urothelium reorganizes into two or three layers in the distended bladder without structural damage. Due to this transitional ability of the urothelium, it is also known as the transitional epithelium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transitional epithelium is a type of tissue that changes shape in response to stretching (stretchable epithelium). The transitional epithelium usually appears cuboidal when relaxed and squamous when stretched.
