Answer:

The correct answer is c. urinary bladder

Step-by-step explanation:

Transitional epithelium is one of the type of stratified epithelium presents in urinary bladder and ureters. It consists of multiple layer like basal, intermediate and superficial and have ability to expand and relax according to the pressure exerted on them. They have ability to change their shape so called transitional epithelium.

In urinary bladder transitional epithelium helps in expanding the bladder when urine fills in the bladder giving it space to store urine. They appeared to be cuboidal when they are not stretched, when they get stretched they become flat and appear to be squamous in shape.
