A substance 'X' is an inactive protein that must be transformed into its active variant, 'Y'. The component 'X' then converts a soluble material 'M' into an insoluble substance 'N', resulting in a mesh-like structure that stabilizes the blood clot and prevents additional bleeding at the site of damage. Which of the following choices best describes materials X, Y, M, and N?
