Solution

The correct option is D Glial cells
Glial cells are non-neuronal cells and they maintain homeostasis, form myelin and provide support and protection for neurons. Glial cells are capable of undergoing mitosis. As a result, the repairing work is done by glial cells. Other parts mentioned in the options cannot undergo mitosis.
Thus, the correct answer is option (A), 'Glial cells'.
