During the process of anaerobic respiration, glucose is converted to lactic acid in the absence of oxygen. So the correct option is A.
What is anaerobic respiration?
The type of respiration in which the sugars are broken down in the absence of oxygen. Here the final electron acceptor is not oxygen. The organisms that perform anaerobic respiration have evolved to use other substances as their electron acceptors.
Aerobic respiration happens in presence of oxygen. In both of these types of respiration, glucose is broken down into pyruvate and then it enters a series of reactions using an electron transport chain to produce ATP. This is where they require a final electron acceptor which can be oxygen, nitrate or sulfates etc.
The process of breakdown of glucose is called glycolysis. and after that two pyruvate molecules are produced. In anaerobic respiration, these molecules undergo reactions in the cytoplasm to produce ATP with the help of sulphur, sulfates, nitrates, fumarates etc as the final electron acceptor.
Anaerobic respiration produces less ATP compared to aerobic repiration.
