Answer:

The correct answer is - option C.

Explanation:

Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood that carries water, salts, and enzymes in it and comprise almost 55% of the total blood volume. Other 45% of blood contains RBC, WBC, and platelets.

It is a yellow liquid that contains a clotting factor that helps in clotting blood if any injury occurs. Antigens are present on the RBCs not in the blood plasma that determines blood type.
