The correct option is B Cuboidal epithelium
  • The cuboidal epithelial tissue is also known as the glandular epithelium.
  • It lines the surface of various ducts, glands, and hollow organs.
  • It provides mechanical support to these structures.
  • These tissues often get specialized as gland cells and secrete substances at the epithelial surface.

Thus, the correct answer is the option B.
