    Bleeding due to a cut can be stopped by applying ferric chloride solution in the laboratory. This is due to

    A)  co-agulation of negatively charged blood particles by\[F{{e}^{3+}}\]ions

    B)  co-agulation of positively charged blood particles by\[C{{l}^{-}}\]ions

    C)  reaction taking place between ferric ions and the haemoglobin forming a complex

    D)  common element, iron, in both\[FeC{{l}_{3}}\]and haemoglobin.

    Correct Answer: A
