Solution

The correct option is A Fibrin
A. Fibrin is a type of insoluble protein which is formed from fibrinogen. A clot is formed when fibrinogen of plasma is converted to fibrin. The polymerized fibrin together with platelets forms a hemostatic plug or clot over a wound site.
B. Collagen is a type of connective tissue that consists of long unbranched, soft elastin fibres of tropocollagen.
C. Elastin is a type of connective tissue that consists of less numerous branched, flexible elastic fibres.
D. Cellulose is a polysaccharide made of glucose subunits.
Tendons through which muscles are connected to bones are made up of collagen.
So, the correct answer is 'Fibrin'.
