A. Basement membrane

B. Gap junctions

C. Desmosomes

D. Luminal surface

The correct answer is A. Basement membrane.

An acellular, condensed layer that forms a barrier between the epithelium and connective tissues is called basement membrane (lamina). Luminal surface is the surface of the lumen and may contain specialized structures such as cilia, microvilli, or sterocilia.
