A: Acute promyelocytic leukemia
Answer: A: Acute promyelocytic leukemia 
Explanation: Abstract Malignancy is associated with a "hypercoagulable" state and a high risk for thrombohemorrhagic complications. Clinical complications may range from localized thrombosis to bleeding of varying degrees of severity because of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Life-threatening bleeding is frequent in acute leukaemias, particularly in acute promyelocytic leukaemia (APL).
Laboratory assessments show a profound hemostatic imbalance in this condition, with activation of coagulation, fibrinolysis, and nonspecific proteolysis systems.
