A
Prophase
B
Interphase
C
Cytokinesis
D
Metaphase
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: -S phase is the period during which DNA replication occurs.

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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Also known as gap 1 phase, it is the first phase of the cell cycle in cell division. The cell is metabolically active and continuously grows in this phase of the cell cycle. However, no DNA replication takes place in this phase.
