Why is it important that cardiac tissue contain many mitochondria and capillaries?

A) Cardiac tissue primarily uses mitochondria for fermentation to generate ATP and capillaries provide a way to get rid of the lactic acid. B) Cardiac tissue primarily uses mitochondria for anaerobic respiration to generate ATP and capillaries get rid of the waste generated. C) Cardiac tissue primarily uses mitochondria for glycolysis to generate ATP and capillaries provide the oxygen and nutrients for this process. D) Cardiac tissue is metabolically active and dependent on mitochondrial activity to use aerobic respiration to generate ATP and capillaries provide the oxygen and nutrients for this process. E) Cardiac tissue is metabolically active and dependent on the mitochondrial activity for the breakdown of fatty acids during beta-oxidation and the capillaries provide the fatty acids for this process.
