Solution

The correct option is D Occurs only during interphase
Cleavage is basically the process of division of a single-celled zygote into a multicellular blastocyst that further undergoes implantation and development to form a fetus. Restoration of the cell size and the nucleocytoplasmic ratio characteristic of the species also take place in cleavage. Also, during cleavage, very little growth occurs between the stages. But no actual growth occurs during this process as the initial and final stages are of almost the same size.

So, the correct answer is 'occurs only during interphase'.
