Final Answer : C, Explanation :  A clot that forms attached to a vein wall is called a thrombus. An embolus is a clot that breaks off from its site of formation and travels through the circulatory system to a different location where it can cause a blockage. Embolism refers to the condition that occurs when an embolus blocks blood flow to an organ or tissue. Thrombin, on the other hand, is an enzyme that plays a key role in blood clotting.
