Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Vitamin K helps to make various proteins that are needed for blood clotting and the building of bones. Prothrombin is a vitamin K-dependent protein directly involved with blood clotting. Osteocalcin is another protein that requires vitamin K to produce healthy bone tissue.

Increased calcium concentration in platelets helps to activate various proteins that are essential for blood clotting, resulting in a blood clot being formed. > Calcium is a mineral which is essential for our life.
