Solution

The correct option is A

Serum globulins


Globulins, fibrinogen and albumins are a group of proteins within the blood. There are 4 types of globulins of which immunoglobulin (gamma globulin) are the ones that function as antibodies. So if we suspect a major deficiency of antibodies in a person then checking the level of globulins can give you confirmatory evidence of the same.
Fibrinogen helps in the formation of blood clots. Hematocyte is a blood cell. Albumin is a multitasker protein with several functions including maintaining the osmotic pressure within blood vessels, transporting certain molecules, and eliminating free radicals that cause damage to the cells.
