Question

simple squamous epithelium
stratified squamous epithelium
simple cuboidal epithelium
stratified columnar epithelium

Explanation:

Stratified squamous epithelium is characterized by multiple layers of cells. The top - layer cells are squamous (flat), and there are several layers beneath them. Simple squamous epithelium has a single layer of flat cells. Simple cuboidal epithelium has a single layer of cube - shaped cells. Stratified columnar epithelium has multiple layers with columnar cells on the surface. The image shows multiple layers, which rules out simple epithelia (simple squamous and simple cuboidal). The surface cells are squamous (not columnar), so it is stratified squamous epithelium.

Answer:

Stratified Squamous epithelium
