Answer:

b.lactic acid is a correct option.

Step-by-step explanation

  • After exercise or intense activity, our muscle produces lactic acid to provide energy, this process occurs when there is not sufficient oxygen present in the body, so in that case, lactic acid fermentation occurs which provides ATP.
  • This process depends upon sources like sugar where energy is stored and it is breakdown into simple molecules, to get the energy that helps in the exercise part.
