outermost membrane around myelin sheath
A
neurilemma
B
Schwann cells
C
axon
D
neurofibril
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -EXPLANATION: Neurilemna is also known as neurolemna. It is the sheath of schwann, which is the outermost nucleated cytoplasmic layer of schwann cells. Neurilemna surrounds the axon of the neuron. It forms the outermost layer of the nerve fiber.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Schwann cells cover the myelin sheath. A well-developed Schwann cell looks like a sheet of paper where the layers of Myelin sheath can be seen along every coil. The outermost layer of the Schwann cells which presents the nucleated cytoplasm. From this cytoplasm, the Neurilemma is formed.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the peripheral nerves, the neurolemma is the outer covering of nerve fibers. The myelin sheath of the axon is surrounded by a nucleated cytoplasm layer of Schwann cells. The neurilemma is only seen in the peripheral nerves because Schwann cells are only present in the peripheral nerves.
