Thromboxane A2, collagen and epinephrine |

Nitric oxide and thromboxante A2 |

Collagen, epinephrine, and prostacyclin |
The answer is 1.nitric oxide and prostacyclin
Prostacyclin
It is a very potent endogenous inhibitor of platelet aggregation. It is also a strong vasodilator that inhibits the growth of vascular smooth muscle cells. Prostacyclin inhibits platelet activation induced by several stimulants such as thrombin, collagen, ADP, TXA2, etc.
Nitric oxide
It inhibits platelet adhesion, aggregation, and promotes disaggregation of preformed platelet aggregates. Its effects are mediated by stimulation of guanylate cyclase and the formation of cyclic GMP and its subsequent transduction mechanism.
The other options are not correct answers because rest all chemicals promotes platelet aggregation.
