Solution

The correct option is C Neurons
A. Chondrocytes are the cells that are found in cartilage. These cells can divide forming a nest of 2-4 cells.
B. Epithelial cells are the cells lining the surfaces of the body. These cells can also divide by mitosis.
C. Neurons or the nerve cells are the largest cells in the body and found in the nervous system. These cells do not have centrioles and hence, do not undergo cell division.
D. Neuroglial cells are the cells in the central nervous system, other than neurons. These cells are meant for the protection of neurons and can divide by mitosis.
Hence, non-dividing cells in humans are neurons.

So, the correct answer is 'Neurons'.
