Solution

The correct option is A Alum
Alum helps in the formation of blood clots by coagulating the red blood cells and stopping the blood flow. So, only alum should be administered.
Heparin is an anticoagulant. It prevents the formation of blood clots. So, a haemophilic person will continue to bleed if heparin is administered.
