Solution

The correct option is B
There is no cell growth

The interphase though called the "resting phase" is the time during which the cell is preparing for division by undergoing both cell growth and DNA replication in an orderly manner. Interphase has 3 main phases - G1, S and G2 phase.

There is some kind of growth happening inside the cell during the interphase. Hence the statement "There is no cell growth" is an incorrect statement.
