Detailed Solution

(A) Interphase is indeed a biosynthetic phase during which the cell prepares for division by replicating its DNA and duplicating its organelles, such as mitochondria, ribosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum.
(B) Interphase typically constitutes more than 95% of the duration of the cell cycle. During interphase, the cell carries out its normal functions, grows, and prepares for cell division. It consists of three sub-phases: G₁phase, S phase, and G₂ phase, with the S phase being the period during which DNA replication occurs.
(C) Interphase is the phase between two successive M-Phase.
