The best answer is A. As soon as the blood vessel wall is broken or damaged, a series of reactions activate platelets so that they stick to the site of injury. The platelets are able to hold to the blood vessel wall by means of a protein substance called von Willebrand's factor. Collagen and thrombin then act at the site of injury and induce platelets to clump or stick together, forming a mesh that plugs the broken part. Special clotting protein help sequester more platelets to the plug which finally becomes a blood clot.

  • During transcription, protein can interfere with the chromatin structure at specific locations and interefere with its structure.
  • Histone post-translation modifications (PTMs) regulate the structure of chromatin and also guide the remodeling enzymes which use the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to reposition nucleosomes.
  • During replication the chromatin structure rearrange itself in order to make the new DNA fit inside the nucleus.

Hence, the correct option is d.
