Answer: D. Heparin

Explanation: The Heparin is administered in patients that have diseases or problems related to hypercoagulation, this includes: pulmonary embolism, heart attack, venous thrombosis, among others.

It acts by inhibiting (avoiding the action of) thrombin, that is one of the components of the coagulation cascade.
