Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle when the cell is growing and preparing for cell division. It consists of three sub-phases: G₁, G₂, and S phase. Quiescent phase (also known as G0 phase) is a separate phase outside of interphase, and M phase is the phase of cell division. Therefore, the best choice is B, as it includes all three sub-phases of interphase.
