A Correct answer
Explanation

The typical cell cycle duration of 24 hours is for mammalian cells in culture. However, this varies widely - from 20 minutes in yeast embryos to several months in some adult cells. The question doesn't specify the cell type, making 24 hours a reasonable default for typical somatic cells.
