Solution

The correct option is D Vitamin D
Fibrinogen is factor I and its source is liver. When fibrinogen is converted into fibrin by thrombin, it forms long strands, that compose the mesh network for clot formation.
Calcium is factor IV and its source is bone and absorption from food in gastrointestinal tract. It works with many clotting factors for activation of the other clotting factors.
Vitamin K is an essential factor to various protein enzymes, that are a part of coagulation cascade.
Vitamin D is found in fish and liver oil and is essential for absorption of calcium.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
