Solution

The correct option is A True
G2 phase of the cell cycle, or Gap 2 phase, is the second sub phase of Interphase in the cell cycle directly preceding mitosis. It follows the successful completion of S phase, during which the cell’s DNA is replicated. During the DNA replication process DNA is duplicated and now the cell has double the amount of DNA than originally present.
So, the correct option is 'True'.
