Solution

The correct option is C
Thrombocytosis

Thrombocytosis is a condition in which there are an excessive number of platelets in the blood. Platelets are blood cells in plasma that stop bleeding by sticking together to form a clot. Too many platelets in our blood can cause stroke, heart attack, or a clot in the blood vessels.
