Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Excessive thrombosis and bleeding. In DIC, there is widespread activation of the coagulation cascade leading to the formation of microthrombi in small blood vessels, causing tissue ischemia and organ dysfunction. This results in excessive clot formation (thrombosis) in some areas and simultaneous consumption of clotting factors and platelets, leading to bleeding in other areas. The other choices are incorrect because:
A) In DIC, there is consumption of clotting factors, leading to a decrease rather than an increase.
C) Platelet production may be increased initially to compensate for consumption, but it is not a progressive increase.
D) Sodium and fluid retention are not typical findings in DIC.
