A
Interphase
B
Prophase
C
Telophase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The G1 phase is the longest in the cell cycle. It’s the beginning of the interphase. The cell prepares for division during the G1 phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. This is when the cell grows and copies its DNA before moving into mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes will align, separate, and move into new daughter cells. The prefix inter-means between, so interphase takes place between one mitotic (M) phase and the next.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The interphase is the longest phase of the cell cycle because it is the stage during which all the preparation for cell division takes place.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus Interphase is the longest phase in the life of a cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -G1 is typically the longest phase of the cell cycle. This can be explained by the fact that G1 follows cell division in mitosis; G1 represents the first chance for new cells have to grow. Cells usually remain in G1 for about 10 hours of the 24 total hours of the cell cycle.
