The surface of our body and internal organs is subjected to wear and tear and injury. To protect the inner tissues, the outer lining of the body and organs is covered by a specialized group of cells called Compound epithelium. It is made of multiple layer of cells arising from the basement membrane.
So the correct option is A.
