frostbite · Answer

It is B. 100% sure now
thrombin = enzyme
fibrin = is made into fibrin clot in the blood clotting cascade.
platelets = cell fragment (hard to make a molecule into a cell :D)
thromboplastin =thromboplastin is a plasma protein aiding blood coagulation through conversion of prothrombin to thrombin.
