Phase where the cell grows larger
A
Cytokinesis
B
Telophase
C
Prophase
D
Interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth).

Detailed explanation-2: -A cell grows during the G1 phase of the cell cycle. During this phase, more organelles are produced, a high amount of protein synthesis occurs and the volume of the cytoplasm increases. The cell continues to grow further in the G2 phase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The synthesis phase of interphase takes the longest because of the complexity of the genetic material being duplicated.

Detailed explanation-5: -Stages of interphase During this time, a high amount of protein synthesis occurs and the cell grows (to about double its original size) – more organelles are produced and the volume of the cytoplasm increases. If the cell is not to divide again, it will enter G0.
