Correct option is A
The correct answer is: (A). Platelets
- Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are small cell fragments in the blood that play a crucial role in blood clotting (hemostasis).
- When there is an injury to a blood vessel, platelets quickly gather at the site of the wound, sticking together to form a plug.
- They also release chemicals that activate other clotting factors, leading to the formation of a blood clot and helping to stop the bleeding.
