D. Prevents blood from clotting normally due to the body’s inability to form fibrin proteins

Answer 1

D. Prevents blood from clotting normally due to the body’s inability to form fibrin proteins.

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that impairs the body’s ability to make blood clots, a process that is crucial for stopping bleeding. This condition is typically due to a deficiency in clotting factors, which are proteins in blood that help control bleeding. In hemophilia A specifically, there is a deficiency in factor VIII, which is essential for the formation of fibrin, a key component of blood clots.
