Cells will usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in which phase of the cell cycle.

C.G1

The cell cycle is a sequence of events that occurs in a specific order. It is the series of events that lead to a cell's genome duplication and final division into two daughter cells.

It consist of two main phases - Interphase and M-phase

The interphase or the resting stage is divided into G1, S, and G2 phase.

The G1 phase is the period between the end of Mitosis and the start of DNA replication. Cells usually divide if they receive the proper signal at a checkpoint in the G1 phase of the cell cycle.

So, the correct answer is option C. G1

other options

A. S- incorrect ( S refers to synthesis,  it is the period during which DNA synthesis occurs)

B. M - incorrect ( M refers to Mitosis, it is the period of actual cell division )

D. Cytokinesis - incorrect ( Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm)

E. G2 - incorrect ( It is the period between S phase and M phase )
