The correct answer is option D.
Plasma is the fluid component of the blood. It is derived when all the blood cells - red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are separated from whole blood. The remaining straw-coloured fluid is 90 - 92 percent water, dissolved nutrients, proteins, waste products, and hormones.
