Solution

The correct option is A Clot the blood.
  • Blood platelets or thrombocytes are the blood cells that are responsible for normal blood clotting.
  • When one of our blood vessels is injured, platelets will clot (clump together) to plug the hole in the blood vessel and stop the bleeding.
So, the correct option is 'Clot the blood'.
