A	1500 metres
B	100 metres
C	10, 000 metres
D	400 metres

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaerobic Metabolism This includes rowing, cycling, running and other high-intensity interval training activities. In sports where repeated short bursts of energy are required the muscles are able to recover and deliver the next burst because of the anaerobic system.
