Accumulation of lactic acid $(HC_3H_5O_3),$ a monobasic acid in tissues,leads to pain and a feeling of fatigue. In a $0.10 \ M$ aqueous solution,lactic acid is $3.7 \%$ dissociated. The value of the dissociation constant,$K_a,$ for this acid will be:

  • A
    $1.4 \times 10^{-5}$
  • B
    $1.4 \times 10^{-4}$
  • C
    $3.7 \times 10^{-4}$
  • D
    $2.8 \times 10^{-4}$
