The stage in the cell cycle that involves copying of the cell's genetic material is the **S phase** (Synthesis phase). During this phase, the DNA is replicated, resulting in two identical sets of chromosomes.
In summary:
- **G1 phase**: Cell growth and preparation for DNA replication.
- **S phase**: DNA replication occurs.
- **G2 phase**: Further preparation for mitosis, including additional growth and organelle duplication.
- **PMAT**: Represents the stages of mitosis (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) but does not involve copying of genetic material.
So, the correct answer is **S phase**.
