Students have asked these similar questions
What type of epithelium lines the gas exchange surfaces of the alveoli?
a. pseudostratified columnar epithelium
b. ciliated columnar epithelium
c. simple squamous epithelium
d. simple cuboidal epithelium
I believe that it is pseudostratified ciliated columnar epithelium but that is not an option so I don't know what one to choose.

C.compound alveolar
