A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaerobic respiration is a type of cellular respiration where respiration takes place in the absence of oxygen. The end product of anaerobic respiration in plants is ethanol. At the same time, the end product of anaerobic respiration in animals is lactic acid.

Detailed explanation-2: -During anaerobic respiration, lactic acid is produced. This happens when the demand for energy is more and supply of oxygen is less, mainly during heavy exercise. The lactic acid thus formed is broken down by the supply of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -(b) The statement is false. Anaerobic respiration in plants yields ethanol.
