The correct answer would be B. Cuboidal cells are cube-shaped.

The cells of the cuboidal epithelium are a cube in shape that is, the height and width of the cells are almost the same in length.

This epithelium is mainly found in the organs which are specialized for absorption and secretion such as thyroid follicles, salivary glands, kidney tubules, the lining of nephrons et cetera.

In addition, the squamous cells are flat and scale-like in shape and columnar cells are tall and cylindrical in shape.
