Answer:

G₀ phase

Step-by-step explanation:

Some types of cells divided slowly or not at all. These cells may exit the G₁ phase and enter a resting phase called G₀ phase. In G₀ phase, a cell is not actively preparing to divide. It's simply doing its job. For some cells, G₀ is a permanent state, while others may restart cell division given the right signals.
