Answer

C. It is a temporary quiescent stage where cells exit the cell cycle.

Show ExplanationHide Explanation

Explanation

G 0 is a quiescent state outside the active division cycle. Cells remain metabolically active, and some can re-enter the cycle when stimulated. Quiescence may persist for a long time; the choice should not imply that every cell necessarily returns to division.
