Answer»

Answer is : (c) Lactic acid

During vigorous muscular activity like running, muscles perform anaerobic respiration after a while due to scarcity of oxygen. During anaerobic respiration in muscles, lactic acid is produced as a byproduct. Thus a runner will have lactic acid in his muscles after a 100 metre sprint.
