Answer:

D. it causes clots in blood vessels.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you receive blood that is not compatible with your blood, your body produces antibodies to destroy the donor's blood cells. This process causes the transfusion reaction. Blood that you receive in a transfusion must be compatible with your own blood.
