A 22-year-old female just delivered a healthy baby girl. She suffered from eclampsia during her pregnancy, and on the second postpartum day she complained of bleeding gums and bruising on her arms and legs. Hematology lab tests indicate that she had disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Further review of lab tests by the nurse revealed an increase in:
a) Prothrombin time (PT)
b) Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT)
c) Fibrin degradation products (FDPs)
d) Platelet count
