Solution

The correct option is B
Thrombocytes

Platelets/thrombocytes are tiny blood cells that help our bodies form clots to stop bleeding. If any of our blood vessels get damaged, it sends out signals that are picked up by platelets. The platelets then rush to the site of the damage and form a mesh, or clot, to repair the damage.
