Choose the correct answer

Explanation

Option C is incorrect because, in the racemic mixture of warfarin, the S-enantiomer is actually more potent than the R-enantiomer. The S-form is approximately three to five times more active than the R-form. Transient hypercoagulability (Option A) can occur initially, and warfarin is contraindicated in pregnancy due to fetal risks (Option B). The anticoagulant effect does take several days to manifest (Option D).
