Clinical pathology involves diagnosing and monitoring diseases using laboratory testing of bodily fluids, such as blood and urine. While all of the options listed may play a role in this process, the main departments within clinical pathology are Microbiology, Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank, Serology, and Coagulation. These departments cover a wide range of tests and analyses, including the study of microorganisms (Microbiology), the chemical composition of bodily fluids (Chemistry), the study of blood and blood disorders (Hematology), the identification and separation of blood components (Blood Bank), the detection of antibodies and antigens (Serology), and the study of blood clotting (Coagulation). Option C includes all of these departments, making it the correct answer. Option A only includes two of these departments and options B and D each only include three, making them incorrect.
