Verified by Toppr

Figure P depicts non-ciliated simple columnar epithelium along with goblet cells. Its main function is absorption and secretion. Goblet cells secrete mucous which lubricates the lining of respiratory, digestive and reproductive tracts. It prevents the destruction of the stomach lining because of the acidic secretions of its cells.
So, the correct answer is 'P is found in organs involved in secretion such as the stomach'.
