The process whereby the binding of antibodies to antigens causes rbcs to clump
A
Hemostasis
B
Coagulation
C
Agglutination
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The agglutination of red blood cells (RBCs) is specifically called hemagglutination.

Detailed explanation-2: -Agglutination is defined as the formation of clumps of cells or inert particles by specific antibodies to surface antigenic components (direct agglutination) or to antigenic components adsorbed or chemically coupled to red cells or inert particles (passive hemagglutination and passive agglutination, respectively).

Detailed explanation-3: -In hematology, red cell agglutination or autoagglutination is a phenomenon in which red blood cells clump together, forming aggregates. It is caused by the surface of the red cells being coated with antibodies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hemagglutination. Agglutination of red blood cells is called hemagglutination.

Detailed explanation-5: -Agglutination, which refers to the clumping of particles together, is an antigen-antibody reaction that occurs when an antigen (i.e., a molecule capable of triggering the adaptive immune response) is mixed with its corresponding antibody at a suitable pH and temperature.
