Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Satellite cells are not glial cells of the central nervous system (CNS); they are found in the peripheral nervous system (PNS), surrounding neuron cell bodies within ganglia. Ependymal cells, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes are all types of glial cells found within the CNS.
