Solution

The correct option is A During S-phase
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 'During S-phase'.
