Solution

The correct option is D Fibrinogen
Blood plasma is a faint yellow, slightly alkaline and somewhat viscous fluid. The plasma contains a number of proteins: serum albumin, serum globulins, properdin, prothrombin and fibrinogen. Prothrombin and fibrinogen play a role in blood clotting.
Amylase is an enzyme, or special protein, produced by your pancreas and salivary glands. Amylase helps your body break down starch.
Albumin is the main protein of human blood plasma, its main function is to regulate the oncotic pressure of blood.
Globulins make up 38% of blood proteins and transport ions, hormones, and lipids assisting in immune function.
