Solution
The correct option is A G0 Quiescent stage
Some cells in the adult animals do not appear to
exhibit division (e.g., heart cells) and many other cells divide only
occasionally, as needed to replace cells that have been lost because of injury
or cell death. These cells that do not divide further exit G1 phase to enter an
inactive stage called quiescent stage
(G0) of the cell cycle. Cells in this stage remain metabolically active
but no longer proliferate unless called on to do so depending on the
requirement of the organism.
