The correct answer is: C.G2 phase

Immediately after the S phase (Synthesis phase), the cell enters the G2 phase (Gap 2 phase). During G2, the cell continues to grow, produce proteins, and prepare for mitosis (M phase). The DNA replication completed in the S phase is checked for errors, and the cell ensures it is ready for cell division.

Here's a breakdown of the other options:

A.G1 phase: This occurs before the S phase. G1 is the phase where the cell grows and performs its normal functions bef...
