Solution

The correct option is B Heparin in blood
A blood clot is actually the thickened mass formed by the blood platelets and stops the blood profusely out of any cuts or wounds. However, in general and in healthy condition blood does not form clots inside the body due to the presence of heparin an anticoagulant that is secreted by the basophils and mast cells of the blood. Since, this is released into the blood vessels it prevents the formation of clots in them
So, the correct answer is 'Heparin in blood'
