Solution
The correct option is A Clotting of blood
- Platelets, or thrombocytes, are small, colorless cell fragments in our blood that help to stop or prevent bleeding.
- In response to the injury to the blood vessels, platelets are activated.
- They stick to one another and to the wound site to form a temporary plug.
- Next, blood clotting factors trigger the production of fibrin that forms a mesh of tiny threads that collect red blood cells, which keep the plug firm and stable. This is called a clot.
So, the correct answer is 'Clotting of blood.'
