**Fibrinogen **is made of chains of amino acids, so it is a **protein **molecule, used for sealing cuts and stopping the loss of blood , hence option **B **is correct.
What is fibrinogen?
Fibrinogen is the glycoprotein that is found in the blood of vertebrates , and it is used for the **coagulation **of blood if any cuts occur in the body.
It is produced by the **liver **and stops bleeding through the coagulation of the blood, it is modified genetically .
It is a complex glycoprotein , in the process of blood clotting it changes to a fibrin molecule help to stabilize the blood clots , fibrin structure, and mechanical properties are changed according to the **environmental **conditions.
Therefore, used as a **clotting factor **fibrinogen is a protein molecule, having an amino acid sequence.
