What physiological process occurs in a person with DIC?

a. The coagulation pathway is genetically altered, leading to thrombus formation in all major blood vessels.

b. An underlying disease depletes hemolytic factors in the blood, leading to diffuse thrombotic episodes and infarcts.

c. A disease process stimulates coagulation processes with resultant thrombosis, as well as depletion of cloing factors, leading to diffuse cloing and hemorrhage.

d. An inherited predisposition causes a deficiency of cloing factors that leads to overstimulation of coagulation processes in the vasculature.
