A child has experienced a blow to the head causing a slow bleed. Although the bleeding has stopped, the blood clot continues to
expand because
a. brain tissue grows into the blood clot.
b. plasma protein is used by the brain to make additional nerve tissue to replace what was damaged.
c. the particles of the blood clot are osmotically active and draw water into the clot.
d. pieces of the blood clot dissolve and are carried by the blood to the other side of the brain.
