Answer: 3. suspend the cell cycle

Cells that do not divide further leave the active cycle at \(G_1\) and enter the quiescent \(G_0\) stage. They remain metabolically active.

The official key gives option 3 (suspend the cell cycle). Option 1 (exit the cell cycle) is the NCERT wording and is also arguable.
