c. The size of the cell increases during the G2

Explanation:

Interphase of cell cycle includes G1, S and G2 phases. The G2 phase is the second interval or gap that comes after DNA replication in the S phase. During the G2 phase, the cell prepares for division. The cells in the G2 phase exhibit an increased rate of protein synthesis to finally prepare them for cell division. However, there is no increase in cell size during this phase. G1 phase is the first interval of cell growth and activity before the start of DNA replication in the S phase. During the G1 phase, cells experience growth and normal metabolism.
