Solution

The correct option is D
oxygen

During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid is produced. This happens when the demand for energy is more and the supply of oxygen is less mainly during heavy exercises so the lactic acid gets accumulated. The lactic acid thus formed is broken down when the supply of oxygen is normal again.
