The right answer is G2 phase, in order to prepare itself for the M phase.

Phase G2 is a short phase (3 to 4 hours) that starts as soon as replication is enabled; the cell is diploid.

SMC (Structural Maintenance of Chromosomes) Proteins: Condense chromatin = a kind of motor that causes the coil of chromatin.

Histones H1 (internucleosomal histones) are also involved in this condensation.
