Answer 1

Answer:

Option 1 : Mucosa

Explanation:

The gastric glands are located in different regions of the stomach. The glands are present in lamina propria of the mucous membrane or mucosa.

The epithelium of the villi extends down into the lamina propria of the mucosa and form crypts of Liberkuhn.

Goblet cells are simple columnar epithelial cells which are present in the mucosa. The main function of goblet cells is to secrete mucous.

So, the correct answer is 'Mucosa'.
