Portion of the epithelial tissue that folds inwards and forms a multicellular gland.
A
Cuboidal epithelium
B
Stratified squamous epithelium
C
Ciliated columnar epithelium
D
Glandular epithelium
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: The multicellular gland formed due to the inward folding of a portion of epithelial tissue is called the glandular epithelium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Simple cuboidal epithelium: This type of epithelium is typically found in glandular (secreting) tissue and kidney tubules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The glandular epithelium is a type of epithelial tissue which covers the glands of our body. They are mainly of two types: unicellular, consisting of isolated glandular cells (goblet cells of the alimentary canal), and multicellular, consisting of a cluster of cells (salivary gland).

Detailed explanation-4: -Multicellular glands are multicelled glands. They are formed by invagination from an epithelial sheet (like the endocrine glands) but will never lose the duct connecting them to the free surface of the epithelial sheet (surface of the skin or lumen of the open body cavities).

Detailed explanation-5: -Glandular tissue is the part of the breast that makes milk, called the lobes. The tubes that carry milk to the nipple are called ducts. Together, fibrous and glandular tissue are called fibroglandular tissue. Fatty tissue fills the space between the fibrous tissue, lobes, and ducts.
