The most likely cause of lactic acid production in Lawrence's body is that **he performed anaerobic exercises**.
During anaerobic exercise, such as sprinting or heavy weightlifting, the body requires energy quickly and does not have enough oxygen to produce energy through aerobic metabolism. As a result, the body breaks down glucose for energy, leading to the production of lactic acid as a byproduct. This can cause muscle fatigue and soreness.
