A. Interphase
Interphase is the time between division, when the cell is doing...well, whatever it is that that cell's function is. Cancerous cells are constantly dividing, which means less interphase.

Cells that are cancerous invariably ignore the G0 phase (known as interphase more generally), because the checkpoints (such as p53, CDKs, etc, etc) are ignored -- it is this uncontrolled and unregulated division in the face of mutated DNA or cyclins that is the definition of cancer -- a tumor by itself that is not spreading does not meet the definition, and is known as a benign tumor, and so on.

Definitely Interphase, because this is the period of "rest" between mitosis. When cells become cancerous, it means that they divide uncontrollably very quickly. So less time is spent in this "rest" phase.

Interphase!!!
The cell is cancerous once it starts mitosis from prophase to telophase...the damaged checkpoints or oncogene expression or tumor suppressor down-regulation...also prevention of apoptosis all lead to cancer and all this occurs during mitosis.
