Answer Key / Explanation : (b) -

(b)

Simple squamous epithelium is composed of plate-like or flat-disc like cells. The edges of these cells fit closely together just like the tiles in a floor. This is present at pericardial, perineural and peritoneal cavities, terminal bronchioles, air sacs, etc. In cavities of blood vessels and lymph vessels, it is called endothelium.
