Explanation:

Implied consent occurs when a patient's actions suggest agreement to a medical procedure. Here, the patient arrives and allows blood - draw without any explicit refusal, which implies consent. Expressed consent would be a clear verbal or written statement. Written consent is a specific form of expressed consent. Since there's no indication of a written or explicit verbal statement, and the patient cooperates, it's implied consent.

C. implied consent
