Solution

The correct option is B Thrombus
A thrombus is a blood clot that forms in a vessel and remains there. Clot leads to the coagulation of particles forming a thickened mass. It is traveled from the site of its production to another location in the body. It can block the flow of blood in that location depriving tissues of normal blood flow and oxygen. This can result in damage, destruction (infarction), or even death of the tissues (necrosis) in that area.
