I assume that the first G was meant to say G1.
The answer is C. Interphase euchromatin.

Before a cell can enter cell division, it needs to prepare itself by replicating its genetic information and all of the organelles. All of the preparations are done during the interphase. Interphase proceeds in three stages, G1, S, and G2. Cell division operates in a cycle. Therefore, interphase is preceded by the previous cycle of mitosis and cytokenesis. During interphase, the chromosomes are found arranged in the nucleus and appear as a network of long, thin threads, called euchromatin because generally appears as light-colored bands when stained in GTG banding and observed under an optical microscope; in contrast to heterochromatin, which stains darkly. This lighter staining is due to the less compact structure of euchromatin.
