E) All of the above are correct.

The terms stratified, squamous, cuboidal, and columnar are all used to describe the different types of epithelial cell arrangements. Stratified refers to multiple layers of cells, squamous describes flattened cells, cuboidal refers to cube-shaped cells, and columnar describes cells that are taller than they are wide. Each term represents a different arrangement and shape of cells in epithelial tissues.
