Solution

The correct option is A All of the above
Platelets are components of blood. They prevent bleeding by activating coagulation mechanisms hence contribute in wound healing. They play an important role in inflammatory and proliferative events. If the platelets are not present in the blood there will be continuous loss of blood by the blood vessels which may prove fatal.
