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'.
