Correct Answer: The build up of lactic acid in our muscles during sudden activity causes cramps.


Solution : The correct option is The build-up of lactic acid in our muscles during sudden activity causes cramps .

Cramps after sudden physical activity are often attributed to the rapid accumulation of lactic acid in muscles. Intense exercise can outpace the body's oxygen supply, leading to anaerobic metabolism and the production of lactic acid. The acid build up contributes to muscle fatigue and cramping. Adequate warm-up, hydration, and conditioning can help mitigate the likelihood of cramps during sudden physical exertion.
