Step-by-step solution

According to the NCERT description of the cell cycle phases: G 1 phase (A) corresponds to the interval between mitosis and initiation of DNA replication, where the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA (IV). S phase (B) is the period during which DNA replication takes place. In animal cells, during the S phase, DNA replication begins in the nucleus, and the centriole duplicates in the cytoplasm (II). G 2 phase (C) is the phase where proteins are synthesised in preparatio
