Solution

The correct option is C Amount of DNA doubles in each cell
S phase (Synthesis Phase) is the phase of the cell cycle in which DNA is replicated, occurring between G1 phase and G2 phase. To produce two similar daughter cells, the complete DNA instructions in the cell must be duplicated. DNA replication occurs during this S (synthesis) phase.

So, the correct answer is 'Amount of DNA doubles in each cell'.
