Answer:

The asnwer is d. fibrin

Step-by-step explanation:

The last reaction of the coagulation cascade involves the formation of FIBRIN. We call coagulation to the process by which the liquid blood becomes a gel, to form a clot. This process gives rise to what we know as hemostasis, that is, suspension of the loss of blood, from the wound of a damaged vessel and repair. The coagulation cascade consists of 3 ways: extrinsic, intrinsic and common. This process also involves platelets.
