Correct Answer: platelets


Solution : The correct option is platelets .

Blood clots are a result of multiple blood components interacting with one another, mainly platelets and proteins. One kind of blood cell that is essential to the clotting process is the platelet. Platelets cling to the location of a blood vessel injury and release substances that draw in other platelets. Subsequently, these platelets coalesce to generate a plug at the site of injury, so aiding in the commencement of clot formation.
