Answer:
D
Solution:

Schwann cells are the most abundant glial cells of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). They are responsible for producing the myelin sheath around medullated (myelinated) nerve fibres in the PNS.

Oligodendrocytes perform a similar function but in the central nervous system (CNS). Astrocytes and ependymal cells are also glial cells found in the CNS.
