Answer:

B. the electron transport chain

Step-by-step explanation:

Electron transport chain is the final step of aerobic cellular respiration that produces a large number of ATPs by using the energy of proton motive force as generated during oxidation of NADH and FADH2.

Sprint needs a high amount of energy and muscles of athletes are conditioned to carry out aerobic cellular respiration during sprints to avoid any lactic acid accumulation due to fermentation.
