Correct option (a) Amount of DNA doubles in each cell
Explanation :
S-phase is the synthesis phase in which the cell synthesise a replica of its genome, i.e. DNA replication occurs by DNA polymerase.
DNA replication along with the synthesis of histone proteins results in the duplication of chromosomal material, i.e., amount of DNA doubles in each cell.
Amount of DNA remains unchanged during G1-phase or post mitotic gap and/or G2-phase or pre mitotic phase.
