A	Interlobular
B	Striated
C	Common excretory
D	Intercalated
E	-

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A histological specimen of a mandibular gland shows an excretory duct. Mucous membrane of the duct is lined with cubic epithelium whose cells have weakly developed organelles. What excretory duct is it? Epithelial cells are connected with each other by various contacts.

Detailed explanation-2: -The intercalated ducts join the secretory convoluted (granular) portion of the ductular system which is unique to the submandibular gland. The epithelium of this section of the duct is tall columnar.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cuboidal epithelium is a type of epithelium that consists of a single layer of cuboidal (cube-like) cells. These cuboidal cells have large, spherical and central nuclei. They are present in the lining of kidney tubules and ducts of salivary glands.
