Answer:

D. Both statements are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Simple columnar epithelium has just a layer which lines the digestive parts such as the stomach ,small intestine and large intestine.

The stratified squamous epithelium also has a single layer but with a flat surface.It lines the oral cavity.This structure is most suitable for movement of particles through the surface which could be through diffusion or filtration.
