Answer
A. It is formed by invagination of cell membranes of adjacent hepatocytes
Explanation
The bile canaliculus is a small duct between hepatocytes (liver cells) that collects bile produced by hepatocytes. It is formed by the invagination of the cell membranes of adjacent hepatocytes. Kupffer cells are specialized macrophages located in the liver, but they do not line the bile canaliculi. The bile canaliculus is not lined by cuboidal cells or simple squamous epithelium, and it is not found in the gallbladder.
