B
Prophase
C
Metaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -S phase : The replication phase is known as the S phase. DNA replication consumes the majority of the cell’s resources. All 46 chromosomes are duplicated in human cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Explanation: Replication of the DNA occurs during the S phase of interphase. Interphase is essentially the first and longest phase of the cell cycle characterized by three distinct phases: growth phase 1 (G1), synthesis (S) phase, and srowth phase 2 (G2).

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: Interphase consists of the G1 phase, the S phase, and the G2 phase. Only during the S phase (Synthesis) are the chromosomes (DNA) replicated.
