Correct answer
Explanation
The ABO blood group system classifies human blood into four main types based on the presence or absence of A and B antigens: Type A has A antigens, Type B has B antigens, Type AB has both, and Type O has neither. This classification is crucial for safe blood transfusion, as mixing incompatible blood types can cause dangerous immune reactions.
