The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

The anticoagulant effect of unfractionated heparin is monitored using the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), which assesses the intrinsic and common coagulation pathways.
- INR and PT are used for warfarin monitoring.
- Bleeding time measures platelet function, not coagulation pathways.
