Answer:

C. Development

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell cycle involves two major kinds of division; mitosis and meiosis. These divisions is each composed of stages/phases. Mitosis, for example, is divided into: interphase and mitotic (M) phase.

The interphase stage consists of Gap 1 (G1) phase, Synthesis (S) phase and Gap 2 (G2) phase while the mitotic phase consists of mitosis and cytokinesis etc. Hence, according to the question, development is not a stage of the cell cycle.
