Candice cuts her leg during a hike. Even though she doesn't have any

A. The negative feedback mechanism, called clotting, causes the
patient's blood volume to decrease in order to stop the bleeding.
B. The positive feedback mechanism, called clotting, causes the
patient's blood volume to decrease in order to stop the bleeding.
C. The positive feedback mechanism, called clotting, causes the
body to produce platelets that gather at the site of the cut to stop
the bleeding.
D. The negative feedback mechanism, called clotting, causes the
body to produce platelets that gather at the site of the cut to stop
the bleeding.
