Answer:

The correct answer will be option c.

Explanation:

Two types of skeletal muscles are used in exercise: fast twitch and slow twitch.

Slow-twitch muscles help in long-endurance exercises like marathon running as they have more mitochondria and use aerobic respiration to produce energy.

But fast-twitch especially types IIb muscle is used in the exercise which requires powerful bursts like weight-lifting and sprinting as fibres do not have the capability to store oxygen so begin producing energy by lactic acid fermentation.

Thus, option c is the correct answer.
