    d. Soluble fibrinogen to fibrous fibrin

    Explanation:

    Thrombin is an enzyme (serine protease) that is activated from prothrombin in a cascade of reactions. It converts fibrinogen to fibrin.

    Fibrinogen is a soluble glycoprotein produced from the liver and plays a critical role in clotting of blood, as a precursor for the formation of fibrin and also involved in platelet aggregation

    Fibrin is a fibrous and tough non - globular protein that is involved in blood clotting. In blood clotting, fibrin and platelet combine to for a clot on a wound.
