Two volunteers complete the same hard rowing task. After stopping, Eleni continues to breathe faster and deeper than at rest for 7 minutes. Priya does so for 3 minutes.

What does this difference indicate?

[1]
A

Eleni has the larger oxygen debt, so she has more lactic acid to remove.

B

Priya has the larger oxygen debt, as she took in her extra oxygen in less time.

C

Priya has the larger oxygen debt, as she breathes out her lactic acid faster.

D

Eleni has the larger oxygen debt, as her muscles keep making lactic acid at rest.
