Answer:

B. Interphase is the last stage before exiting the cell cycle

Explanation:

Interphase is the portion of the cell cycle where a cell spends the most time of its life. During the interphase, the cell grows and functions normally (i.e., G1 phase), its DNA is replicated (i.e., S phase), and the cell prepares to enter into mitosis (i.e., G2 phase). In adult mammal cells, for example, the interphase accounts or approximately 90%-95% of the cell cycle. Nonetheless, it is important to highlight that the duration of the interphase depends on both the cell type and the organism in which it happens.
