B
Meiosis I, meiosis II, interkinesis
C
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the eukaryotic cell cycle consists of a series of stages that prepare the cell for division and then execute the division process.
Recognize that the cell cycle is broadly divided into two main phases: Interphase and the Mitotic (M) phase.
Interphase itself is subdivided into three parts: G1 phase (cell growth), S phase (DNA synthesis), and G2 phase (preparation for mitosis).
The Mitotic phase includes mitosis (nuclear division) followed by cytokinesis (cytoplasmic division), which completes the cell division process.
Therefore, the three main parts of the cell cycle in order are: Interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.
