  4. Simple cuboidal Epithelium

Verified by Toppr

Transitional epithelium is variable in appearance. In a relaxed or un-stretched state, it looks like stratified cuboidal epithelium. As tissue is stretched, cells become more flattened, giving the appearance of the stratified squamous epithelium. Due to its variable or transitional appearance, the basal layer is not as clear or as distinguished as it is in other epithelium tissues like squamous, cuboidal and simple cuboidal epithelium.
So, the correct answer is 'Transitional epithelium'.
