Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Hemostatic agents are drugs used to control bleeding by promoting clotting or stopping bleeding. Anticoagulants, on the other hand, prevent clotting and are used to prevent blood clots from forming. Antianemic agents are used to treat anemia, and EPOs are used to stimulate the production of red blood cells.
