C
Hemostasis
D
Hematopoiesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Coagulation is defined as the change in the structure of protein (from a liquid form to solid or a thicker liquid) brought about by heat, mechanical action or acids.

Detailed explanation-2: -coagulate-to cause to clot or become clotted; to convert a fluid or substance in solution into a solid or a gel.

Detailed explanation-3: -: the process of becoming viscous or thickened into a coherent mass : the forming of clots (as in blood or cream) : the process of coagulating.

Detailed explanation-4: -Coagulation can occur in a few different ways: enzyme action, acid addition, or acid/heat addition. These three processes will be the foci of this post.

Detailed explanation-5: -Coagulation is defined as the transformation of proteins from a liquid state to a solid form. Once proteins are coagulated, they cannot be returned to their liquid state. Coagulation often begins around 38°C (100°F), and the process is complete between 71°C and 82°C (160°F and 180°F).
