C Correct answer
Explanation

Vitamin K is essential for synthesizing prothrombin and other clotting factors in the liver. Without adequate Vitamin K, blood cannot clot properly, leading to bleeding disorders. The question's phrasing is slightly inaccurate - Vitamin K enables prothrombin production rather than 'releasing' it. Proteins are nutrients, dietary potassium doesn't directly control clotting, and Vitamin E is an antioxidant.
