Solution

The correct option is A Liver
  • Generally, the glucose undergoes metabolism in the presence of oxygen to form ATP(adenosine triphosphate) which is essential for the muscle contraction but during vigorous 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.
  • This Lactic acid generated during muscle contraction is elaborated to form glycogen in Liver through Cori cycle.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Liver'.
