Solution

The correct option is A Interphase
Interphase precedes cell division, and it occurs before the initiation of mitosis. Most cells of adult mammals spend about 20 hours in interphase; this accounts for about 90% of the total time involved in cell division. Interphase includes G1, S, and G2 phases and centriole duplication occur during S phase.
