Solution

To answer the question regarding the type of epithelium that lines bronchioles, we need to consider the characteristics of the epithelium found in each of the given options.

Bronchioles are lined with simple cuboidal epithelium that can change to a columnar type in some larger bronchioles. Let's analyze the options:

  1. Alveoli: Alveoli are lined with simple squamous epithelium, which is different from the epithelium in bronchioles.
  2. Oral cavity: The oral cavity is lined with stratified squamous epithelium, again different from that of bronchioles.
  3. Fallopian tubes: The lining of the fallopian tubes consists of ciliated columnar epithelium, which is distinct from the bronchiolar lining.
  4. Thyroid vesicles: The thyroid is lined with cuboidal epithelium, which shares similarities with the bronchiolar epithelium.

Summary

Given the similarities in epithelial types, the thyroid vesicles (D) are lined with cuboidal epithelium, which is also present in bronchioles.

Final Answer

D: thyroid vesicles
