Solution

The correct option is C rRNA and mRNA
The G2 phase is the third phase of the cell cycle; the first two being the G1 phase and the S phase. In the S phase, the DNA has been replicated and now in G2 phase, the cell grows and prepares itself for mitosis. To do so, it requires proteins (for example, for spindle assembly and dis-assembly). Hence, this phase is marked by protein synthesis and rapid cell growth. As it involves protein synthesis, both mRNA (required to translate into protein) and rRNA ( an essential component for protein synthesis) will be synthesized.
So, the correct answer is option C.
