Solution

The correct option is C muscle
During strenuous physical exercise, the muscle cells need more energy. In the absence of sufficient oxygen, muscles convert glucose into lactic acid and release energy by anaerobic respiration. The accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles causes painful muscle cramps.
