Stages of the cell cycle (G1, S, G2) during which growth and DNA synthesis occur when the nucleus is not actively dividing.
A
interphase
B
cytokinesis
C
M phase
D
G0
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The interphase is the period when the cell is in a non-dividing state and this can be in different stages: the first gap (G1) between the last mitosis and the S phase (phase of DNA synthesis) and the second gap (G2) between the completion of the S phase and the next mitosis (M).

Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘ G1
