Answer is : (c) Synthetic (S)
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesises DNA molecules from deoxyribonucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes are essential for DNA replication. S-phase or synthetic phase is significant due to DNA synthesis. Thus, DNA polymerase activity is highest at S-phase of cell cycle.
