The process of stopping bleeding
A
homeostasis
B
hemostasis
C
phagocytosis
D
dermatographia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hemostasis is the mechanism that leads to cessation of bleeding from a blood vessel. It is a process that involves multiple interlinked steps. This cascade culminates into the formation of a “plug” that closes up the damaged site of the blood vessel controlling the bleeding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Primary hemostasis is when your body forms a temporary plug to seal an injury. To accomplish that, platelets that circulate in your blood stick to the damaged tissue and activate. That activation means they can “recruit” more platelets to form a platelet “plug” to stop blood loss from the damaged area.

Detailed explanation-3: -Coagulation (or clotting) is the process through which blood changes from a liquid and becomes thicker, like a gel. Coagulation is part of a larger process called hemostasis, which is the way that the body makes bleeding stop when it needs to.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hemostasis is a way of the body to stop injured blood vessels from bleeding. One of the most important parts of hemostasis is the clotting of the blood. Subsequently, the body needs to control the mechanisms to control and limit clotting.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hemostasis is the physiological process by which bleeding ceases. Hemostasis involves three basic steps: vascular spasm, the formation of a platelet plug, and coagulation, in which clotting factors promote the formation of a fibrin clot.
