Solution

The correct option is A) True
Anaerobic respiration occurs in muscles during exercise due to insufficient availability of oxygen. Aerobic respiration requires more energy than anaerobic respiration because in anaerobic respiration glucose is incompletely broken down. Due to incomplete breakdown, lactic acid is produced instead of carbon dioxide and water later.
