Solution

The correct option is B TPA
Tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) is a clot dissolving enzyme that is produced naturally by cells in the walls of blood vessels and catalyzes the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. It is used to dissolve clots blocking coronary arteries in heart attack and cranial arteries in certain cases of stroke.
