In the clotting process, as the hemostatic plug develops, fibrin polymerizes into monomeric threads that are held together by noncovalent bonds. Which clotting protein increases the strength of the clot by cross-linking the newly formed fibrin threads?
(A) Factor XIII
(B) High molecular weight kininogen (HMWK)
(C) Plasminogen
(D) Thrombin
(E) von Willebrand Factor (vWF)
