The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Gallbladder Structure**: The gallbladder is a small organ that stores bile produced by the liver. It is important to know what type of tissue lines the inner surface of the gallbladder. 2. **Identifying the Epithelium Types**: The options provided are: - Simple columnar epithelium - Stratified columnar epithelium - Brush border columnar epithelium - Brush border tubular epithelium 3. **Analyzing the Inner Surface**: The inner surface of the gallbladder contains a mucous membrane. This membrane is similar to that found in the small intestine, which suggests a specific type of epithelial tissue. 4. **Recognizing Microvilli**: The cells of the mucous membrane in the gallbladder have microscopic projections called microvilli. These projections increase the surface area for absorption, which is a characteristic feature of certain types of epithelial tissue. 5. **Conclusion on Epithelium Type**: Based on the presence of microvilli and the structure of the epithelium, we conclude that the gallbladder is lined by non-ciliated simple columnar epithelium, which is also referred to as brush border columnar epithelium due to the presence of microvilli. 6. **Final Answer**: Therefore, the gallbladder is lined by brush border columnar epithelium (option 3). ---
