During the G2 phase of the cell cycle, the cell has already completed DNA replication during the S phase. This means that each chromosome has been duplicated, and the cell is preparing for mitosis. The chromosomes begin to condense in preparation for mitosis, but they have not yet aligned on the metaphase plate or been separated into daughter cells. This makes option B the correct answer.
