The answer is B. fibrin.

Through the process of elimination: thrombin and thromboplastin are enzymes so these choices are incorrect. Platelets are actually cells, which leaves us B. fibrin as the correct choice.
A fibrinogen is a protein involved in the formation of blood clot. It is converted by enzyme thrombin into fibrin during blood clot formation.
