Answer: During interphase, the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis. Interphase is the 'daily living' or metabolic phase of the cell, in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them, grows, reads its DNA, and conducts other "normal" cell functions. This phase was formerly called the resting phase.

Interphase is when the cell is growing and undertaking all normal functions of a cel. Interphase is also when the cell copies it's DNA. It prepares the cell for mitosis as when the cell splits into two daughter cells, each daughter cell have one copy of DNA.

If this is the multiple choice answer, the correct answer is "B. growth of cell and replication"
