The correct option is A

Blood clotting, or coagulation, is an important process that prevents excessive bleeding when a blood vessel is injured. Platelets (a type of blood cell) and proteins in the plasma (the liquid part of blood) work together to stop the bleeding by forming a clot over the injury.
