  • Blood group B

  • Blood group AB

  • Blood group O

  • Blood group A

Solution

C.

Blood group O

Blood group is tested by two types of sera i.e., anti-A (antibody-A) and anti-B (antibody-B). Persons with blood group O Possess both antibodies in their plasma but have no antigens in their RBCs. So, RBCs of blood group 'O' do not show clumping in way of the sera. That's why, persons with blood group 'O' are called universal donor and they can donate blood to a person with any type of blood group.
