Answer:

D. The cell is performing its main function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The blue section in the diagram represents interphase because a cell spends more time in interphase than any other phase. During this phase, the cell is doing what it usually does, and towards the end, it is preparing for the cell division that will occur.
