Explanation:

• Astrocytes: Provide structural support and regulate the chemical environment in the CNS.
• Microglia: Act as the immune cells of the CNS, protecting against pathogens.
• Oligodendrocytes: Form the myelin sheath around neurons in the CNS.
• Ependymal cells: Line the ventricles of the brain and central canal of the spinal cord, and are involved in cerebrospinal fluid production and circulation.
• Schwann cells (Option D) are found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), not the CNS. They form the myelin sheath around neurons in the PNS.

Answer:

A. Astrocytes, B. Microglia, C. Oligodendrocytes, E. Ependymal cells
