Answer: 3. Thrombocytes

Thrombocytes (platelets) release clotting factors and form the platelet plug at an injury. A fall in their number (thrombocytopenia) causes poor clotting and excessive bleeding.

Leucocytes and neutrophils defend against infection, and erythrocytes carry oxygen, so they are not linked to clotting disorders.
