oandasans words affect the way people think.
oandasans words are very cold.
oandasans words can affect people physically.

Explanation:

The imagery links red blood platelets (a physical bodily component) to the brain, framing Oandasan's words as something that interacts with the physical body. Red platelets relate to physical function, so the metaphor suggests the words have a tangible, physical impact rather than just mental, aesthetic, or tonal effects.

Answer:

D. Oandasan's words can affect people physically.
