Solution

The correct option is C Interphase
Interphase is the phase in which the DNA doubles up and the cell spends and performs the majority of its time. Then, in preparation for cellular division, it increases in size. Interphase is also considered to be the living phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other normal cell functions. The majority of eukaryotic cells spend most of their time in interphase. This phase was formerly called the resting phase. However, interphase does not describe a cell that is merely resting but is rather an active preparation for cell division.
