Solution
The correct option is A Formation of lactic acid
Glycolysis breaks a glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules, producing a net gain of 2 ATP molecules. Lactic acid fermentation is the type of anaerobic respiration process carried out by yoghurt bacteria and by our own muscle cells when we work.
