Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Cryoprecipitate replaces factors VIII and XIII,von Willebrand's factor,and fibrinogen.It also replaces red cell mass and plasma volume and is expected to raise hemoglobin by 1 g/100 mL and hematocrit by 3% in a non-hemorrhaging adult.Using cryoprecipitate is the preferred method of replacing red blood cell mass.
