Consider the following four statements (I- IV) related to cell cycle, and select the correct option stating them as true (T) and false (F).

I. Cell growth in terms of cytoplasmic increase is a continuous process.
II. Interphase is the phase of actual cell division.
III. The number of chromosomes doubles in S-phase.
IV. The cell that does not divide further exits G1-phase to enter a metabolically inactive stage.
