Solution
The correct option is C Initiating blood clotting Platelets are tiny cell fragments that circulate through our bloodstream. Their role is to help stop bleeding when there is an injury to our body by initiating blood clotting. They are formed in the bone marrow and are neither smooth nor round, but are shaped more like paper that has been ripped into tiny bits.
