A
Pseudostratified Columnar
B
Stratified Cuboidal
C
Simple Columnar
D
Stratified Squamous
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is a type of epithelium that appears to be stratified but instead consists of a single layer of irregularly shaped and differently sized columnar cells. In pseudostratified epithelium, nuclei of neighboring cells appear at different levels rather than clustered in the basal end.

Detailed explanation-2: -In pseudostratified epithelium, all the cells reach the basement membrane even though the nuclei will lie at different levels in the tissue, reflective of the irregular layering of tall and thin cells. However, only the taller cells will reach the free surface.
