Lack of oxygen in muscles often leads to cramps in the legs of sprinters. This is due to conversion of pyruvate to:(a) ethanol (b) carbon dioxide (c) acetic acid (d) lactic acid

Academic Biology NCERT Class 10

(d) lactic acid

Due to anaerobic respiration, oxygen lack in muscles causes accumulation of lactic acid. This accumulation of lactic acid often leads to cramps in the legs of sprinters.
