A
ganglia and oligodendroglia
B
astrocytes and schwann cells
C
schwann cells and oligodendroglia
D
oligodendroglia and schwann cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Schwann cells make myelin in the peripheral nervous system (PNS: nerves) and oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system (CNS: brain and spinal cord). In the PNS, one Schwann cell forms a single myelin sheath (Figure 1A).

Detailed explanation-2: -Oligodendrocytes are a type of neuroglial cell that function to form the myelin sheath around the axons of neurons within the central nervous system.
