Solution

The correct option is C Schwann cells
Schwann cells, also called neurilemma cells, are cells in the peripheral nervous system that produce the myelin sheath around neuronal axons. The axons of the CNS get their myelin from oligodendrocytes in the CNS.
Astrocytes and neuron are other cells present in the brain.
