What type of fermentation occurs in most organisms, including animals?
A
Aerobic
B
Alcoholic
C
Citric Acid
D
Lactic Acid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fermentation usually happens in yeast cells and bacteria. Also, the animal muscle cells show lactic acid fermentation in case of inadequate oxygen supply. In yeast, there is incomplete oxidation of glucose that happens in an anaerobic environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lactic acid fermentation is a form of anaerobic respiration (or fermentation), that generates energy in the absence of oxygen. This process occurs in certain types of animal cells and bacterial species, and it earns its name because of the lactic acid it produces as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lactic Acid Fermentation in Animals and Bacteria Lactic acid fermentation creates ATP, which is a molecule both animals and bacteria need for energy, when there is no oxygen present. This process breaks down glucose into two lactate molecules.
