is when the cell is on the S phase.
S-Phase is the part of cell cycle when the DNA is replicating, occurring between G1 and G2 phase
If the replication is somehow prevented, the drugs is most likely affecting the S-Phase

The answer is S phase.
If drugs prevent DNA replication which occurs in the S phase. That means that the S phase will be affected by these drugs.
