Solution

Slow-twitch fibers are described as having a rich blood supply. These fibers are also known for their high number of mitochondria and myoglobin, which allow them to sustain long periods of activity. They primarily rely on aerobic respiration, not anaerobic, and they do not typically have high levels of lactic acid as they are more resistant to fatigue. Therefore, the correct answer is "They have a rich blood supply."
