Answer: B- lactic acid building up causing sore muscles

Step-by-step explanation:

In animals, anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid as the glucose is not fully broken down. If the lactic acid builds up it can stop the muscles from working, causing cramp. This lactic acid needs to be broken down.
