The correct answer is: A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
(1) During $\mathrm{G}_1$ phase the cell is metabolically active and continuously grows but does not replicate its DNA.
(2) S or synthesis phase marks the period during which DNA synthesis or replication takes place.
(3) During the $\mathrm{G}_2$ phase, proteins are synthesized in preparation for mitosis while cell growth continues.
(4) Cells that do not divide further exit $\mathrm{G}_1$ phase to enter an inactive stage called quiescent stage $\left(\mathrm{G}_0\right)$ of the cell cycle. Cells in this stage remain metabolically active but no longer proliferate unless called on to do so.
