What is the correct order of the stages of hemostasis?
A
Fibrinolysis, Vasoconstriction, Primary Hemostasis, Coagulation
B
Vasoconstriction, Coagulation, Primary Hemostasis, Fibrinolysis
C
Coagulation, Vasoconstriction, Primary Hemostasis, Fibrinolysis
D
Vasoconstriction, Primary Hemostasis, Coagulation, Fibrinolysis
E
Fibrinolysis, Primary Hemostasis, Coagulation, Vasoconstriction
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The mechanism of hemostasis can divide into four stages. 1) Constriction of the blood vessel. 2) Formation of a temporary “platelet plug.” 3) Activation of the coagulation cascade. 4) Formation of “fibrin plug” or the final clot.

Detailed explanation-2: -The last stage of hemostasis is when your body remodels the existing clot into a fibrin clot. Your body does that because blood clots are a temporary patch, not a permanent solution. That removal involves a process called fibrinolysis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The three steps to platelet plug formation are platelet adherence, activation, and aggregation.
