Solution
The correct option is
A
Upto 100
Myelin is an insulating layer or sheath that forms around nerves, including those in the brain and spinal cord.
It is made up of protein and fatty substances.
This myelin sheath allows electrical impulses to transmit quickly and efficiently along the nerve cells.
If myelin is damaged, these impulses slow down. Hence, the Myelin sheath has layers of fat and protein up to 100.
So, the correct answer is 'up to 100'.
