(i) Diploid cells found in the G0 or G1 phase.
(ii) Cells with twice the normal DNA content in the early M phase.
(iii) Cells with intermediate amounts of DNA in the S phase.
(iv) Cells with twice the normal DNA content in the G2 phase.

Solution

The correct option is B (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
D. (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)
Solution : The diploid cells found in the G0 and G1 phase before starting the G2 or M phase but before anaphase. Cells with twice the normal DNA is in G2 or M phase that is mitosis phase. The S phase is characterized by intermediate DNA when the DNA starts replicating itself, till the entire replication process is complete.
So the correct answer is " (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv)".
