Excessive bleeding from wounds may happen due to lack of ____.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. Vitamin K.
Excessive bleeding from wounds, a condition known as a bleeding disorder, can happen due to a lack of clotting factors in the blood. One of the most common causes is a deficiency of Vitamin K, which is essential for the liver to produce these proteins. Another, more severe, cause is an inherited genetic disorder like hemophilia, where a person's body does not produce enough of a specific clotting factor (e.g., Factor VIII or IX), leading to prolonged bleeding.
