Solution
The correct option is C Plasmin During an injury, the blood clot is formed at the site of injury The clot is made up of mesh of blood cells, factors, damaged tissues, platelets, microbes, fibrin strands, etc. Fibrinolysis is the process in which the clot formation is broken down. The enzyme plasmin cuts the fibrin mesh at various places, leading to the production of circulating fragments, that are cleared by other proteases or by the kidney and liver.
