Solution

The correct option is D Platelets
Blood has four main components: plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Platelets are helpful in clotting of blood when we get injured. They form a clot along with other components of blood. This prevents the excessive loss of blood and the entry of pathogens into the blood through cuts and wounds.
