Answer #1

Option C is the correct answer.

In case of DIC blood's ability to coagulate is impaired (coagulopathy) because of increasesd partial thromboplastin time (PTT), increased prothrombin time (PT) and decreased level of fibrinogen.

In case of DIC abnormal clumps of thickened blood (clots) form inside blood vessels.
