Solution

The correct option is C Lactic acid
Generally, the glucose undergoes metabolism in the presence of oxygen to form ATP(adenosine triphosphate) which is essential for the muscle contraction but during strenuous exercise, the body cannot meet the oxygen demand and the glucose undergoes metabolism in the absence of oxygen which results in the formation and accumulation of lactic acid.Hence during strenuous exercise,glucose is converted into lactic acid.
So,the correct answer is 'Lactic acid'.
