    Answer: D. 2-1-3

    Explanation:

    Hemostasis can be define as a process which causes bleeding to stop when an injury occurs. This process is carried out through this 3 steps;

    Vascular Spasm or Vasoconstriction : In this step, the body constrict the blood vessel to reduce the flow of blood to the affected area.

    Formation of the Platelet Plug : In this step the body respond by activating platelets which encounters the affected area, becomes sticky and forms a plug that serves as a barrier against blood flow.

    Coagulation: Involves the formation of a blood clot. It is a complex process that has Fibrin as it's end product. Fibrin is more like a glue that holds the platelets plug together.

    The Fibrin clot gains strength and then dissolves when the walls of the affected blood vessels close and heals.
