(1), (2) and (3) are true. (3) is false.

(1) Myelinated axons have Schwann cells.

(2) Schwann cells of myelinated axons produce myelin sheath.

(3) Schwann cells are present in non-myelinated axons. Unmyelinated nerve fibre is also enclosed by a Schwann cell that however does not form a myelin sheath around the axon, and is commonly found in autonomous nervous system.

(4) Schwann cells of non-myelinated axons do not produce myelin sheath.
