The correct option is DG0 stage The phase in which cell fail to divide further (do not enter S- phase after G1 - phase) and undergo differentiation is known as G0 phase or quiescent stage. It occurs due to non- availability of mitogen and energy rich compounds. The cells remains metabolically active, grow in size and differentiate for particular function after attaining a particular shape.
