Answer:

A) hypovolemic

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is extensive bleeding, the volume of blood in the entire circulatory system decreases considerably. Therefore, the patient usually goes into hypovolemic shock.

In this type of shock the heart is unable to pump enough blood due to the large decrease in venous return. As a consequence, arterial blood pressure drops.
