Solution

The correct option is C $S - p h a s e$
During the S phase or synthetic phase of interphase, replication of DNA and synthesis of histone proteins occur.
New histones are required in massive amounts immediately at the beginning of the S period of DNA synthesis to provide the new DNA with nucleosomes.
So, the correct option is 'C'.
