Answer:

Option B, Second Gap

Step-by-step explanation:

The cell prepares for cell division in the S phase of the cell cycle. During the G2 phase, the cell duplicates its DNA in order to undergo cell division. Along with DNA, all other cell organelles replicate in number so that the newly formed cell has all organelles as the parent cell. G2 phase is just like a last chance for the cell to make proteins and prepare for next division.

Hence, option B is correct
