Solution

The correct option is A thrombocyte
<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Platelets or thrombocytes are tiny blood cells that help our body to stop bleeding. If one of the blood vessels gets damaged, it sends out signals which are picked up by platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of damage and form a clot, to repair the damage.
