Solution
The correct option is C Astringent
The word, 'astringent' means 'causing the contraction of skin cells and other body tissues'. By contracting the skin cells, the extent of loss of blood through the pores of the skin can be reduced. Hence, this word is used to refer to a substance which can stop the loss of blood. Hence, option C is the correct answer.
The word, 'enamoured' is the past tense of the verb, 'enamour' which means 'have a liking or admiration for'. It also means 'to be filled with love for'. The word, 'unrequited' is used to describe a feeling of love, which is not returned. The word, 'eternal' means 'lasting or existing forever'. As these three words do not mean the same as 'to be able to stop the loss of blood from a cut', options A, B and D are incorrect.
