C: T, A, G1, G2, M

D: G2, A, T, S, G1


Answer is listed as A.

It is A

Cell cycle starts with Interphase (G1, S, G2) then enters Mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase). After that, another cycle starts Interphase...

Option A is the only one has the phases in the right cyclic order. It starts from Metaphase and ends in Prophase. Although they skipped few phases in between, but the order still correct.

silly question under normal conditions None of the above is the correct answer, unless of the passage stated otherwise.

Yes, I got the deer in the headlights stare on this one too. The trick is that this is the correct order of the phases listed, it's not saying that these are all the phases.
