$(A-1, B-2, C-3)$ Simple columnar epithelium: This epithelium forms the inner lining of the stomach, intestine, and gallbladder. It forms stomach glands and intestinal glands, where it functions in secretion. Therefore, it is called glandular epithelium. This epithelium has villi in the mucous layer of the intestine, which increases the absorption surface area; hence, it is called brush-bordered columnar epithelium.
$(B)$ Stratified epithelium: It is composed of epithelial cells arranged in more than one layer. It is also known as compound epithelium. Its lowermost layer, situated on the basement membrane, is adapted to withstand wear and tear. Hence, it primarily functions as a protective epithelium.
$(C)$ Connective tissue: This tissue functions to link various tissues or organs and to support various structures of the animal body. It originates from the mesoderm and consists of living cells embedded in an extracellular matrix, e.g., blood is a fluid connective tissue.
