The correct answer is: C.G1 phase

Explanation:

The G1 phase (Gap 1 phase) is the part of the cell cycle where the cell grows and carries out its normal metabolic functions. During G1, the cell also prepares for DNA replication, ensuring it has all the necessary resources and proteins for the next phase.

Overview of Cell Cycle Phases:

1.G1 phase (Gap 1): This is the cell's growth phase. The cell increases in size, synthesizes proteins and organelles, and carries out normal functions.

2.S phase (Synthesis): The cell replicates its DNA, so that each chromosome consists of two sister ch...
