Answer:
A. stratified squamous epithelium; absorption
Explanation:
Stratified squamous epithelium are composed of multiple layers of cells which rest on a basement membrane. Superficial layers are made of squamous cells and underlying layers can also be made of cuboidal or columnar cells.
Stratified squamous epithelium is generally present in area where there is frequent physical or chemical abrasion. It protects the underlying structures from the stress. Hence, it is found wherever the body comes in contact with the outer environment like skin, digestive system and respiratory system. It also prevents water loss and desiccation.

Explanation:
Granite is a type of grainy (medium-coarse) igneous rock. These are formed from quartz, alkali feldspar and trace minerals along with plagioclase. Rocks like quartz, form a crystal from magma or as a precipitate near hydrothermal vents.
A type of intrusive igneous rock, granite is formed from its constituents when it molten rock cooled. Larger mineral crystals are associated with slower cooling over time.
