The most likely cause of lactic acid production in Lawrence's body is that he performed anaerobic exercises.

Lactic acid is produced when the body breaks down glucose for energy in the absence of sufficient oxygen, which commonly occurs during intense, short bursts of exercise (anaerobic activity).
