Solution

The correct option is A True
When oxygen is not available to cells due to rapid metabolism without recovery, instant energy is produced by Fermentation but in fewer amounts.
The pyruvate formed is converted into lactic acid during fermentation in the absence of oxygen.
So, the correct statement is 'Fermentation follows glycolysis in some cells when oxygen is not available.'.
