Correct answer: A. Platelet disorder

  • A. Platelet disorder
  • B. Lupus anticoagulant
  • C. Hemophilia
  • D. Liver disease

Primary hemostasis forms the platelet plug, so it is impaired by platelet number or function disorders. Hemophilia and lupus anticoagulant primarily affect coagulation pathways and therefore disturb secondary hemostasis.
