Final Answer : B, Explanation :  Plasma is the liquid component of blood, making up about 55% of its total volume. It serves as the medium for transporting nutrients, waste products, and other substances throughout the body. It is not one of the formed elements (like red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets), does transport both waste products and nutrients, accounts for more than half of the blood volume, and is essentially serum with clotting factors, not plus formed elements.
