Solution
The correct option is B A - G1, B - S, C - G2, D - M
During G1 phase, DNA content is 2C. S phase is marked by replication of DNA and the amount of DNA per cell is doubled. During G2 phase, synthesis of RNA and proteins takes place. During mitosis, DNA content gets equally distributed among two daughter cells.
So, the correct answer is 'A - G1, B - S, C - G2, D - M'.
