Solution

The correct option is B Anaerobic
  • There is an increased energy requirement during intense exercises and physical activities.
  • To meet this increased energy demand, there is an increase in oxygen requirement leading to temporary deficiency of oxygen.
  • That is when muscle cells switch to anaerobic respiration for a brief period of time.
