Solution

The correct option is D DNA
The cell cycle is composed of interphase (G₁, S, and G₂ phases), followed by the mitotic phase (mitosis and cytokinesis) and G₀ phase. In S phase, the cell synthesizes a complete copy of the DNA in its nucleus.
DNA replication occurs without increasing the chromosome number, maintaining the same ploidy (number of chromosomal sets) as the parent cell.
So, the answer is C.
