Clotting factors in plasma that prevent blood loss from a wound
A
white blood cells
B
red blood cells
C
hemoglobin
D
platelets
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The clotting factors are Factor I (fibrinogen), Factor II (prothrombin), Factor III (tissue thromboplastin or tissue factor), Factor IV (ionized calcium), Factor V (labile factor or proaccelerin), Factor VII (stable factor or proconvertin), and Factor VIII (antihemophilic factor).

Detailed explanation-2: -PLATELETS (Thrombocytes)-The clotting factors that are carried in the plasma; they clot together in a process called coagulation to seal a wound and prevent a loss of blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
