Solution

The correct option is A Glial cells
Answer is option A i.e. "Glial cells"
Glial cells- These cells are the helper cells in the central nervous system. They surround the neurons and provide insulation between two neurons. There are variously shaped like oligodendrocytes, astrocytes (star-shaped), ependymal etc.
Dendrites- They are branched extensions of nerve cells.
Nissl bodies- It is a large granular body found in the neuron cells.
Nodes of Ranvier are gaps in the myelin sheath of axons.
Thus the correct answer is "Glial cells"
