The cells that produce myelin in the peripheral nervous system are Schwann cells. So the answer is c).

Schwann cells are the glial cells of the peripheral nervous system. They are responsible for wrapping axons in myelin, which is a fatty sheath that insulates the axons and increases the speed of nerve conduction.

Oligodendrocytes are the glial cells of the central nervous system. They are responsible for wrapping axons in myelin in the central nervous system. Astrocytes are glial cells that support neurons in the central nervous system. They do not produce myelin.
