Correct answer
C. Vitamin K
Step-by-step solution
Vitamin helpful in the blood clotting is Vitamin K . Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin required for normal blood clotting. Its deficiency leads to slow or delayed blood clotting and haemorrhage (blood loss). Vitamin K is required for synthesis of prothrombin in the liver where the vitamin K-dependent carboxylation in prothrombin synthesis occurs.
