Multiple choice

Persons with group AB are known as universal acceptors because _____.

  1. they are weak persons and always need blood transfusion

  2. the blood of all other groups can be transfused into them without any harm

  3. they have very less quantity of blood

  4. they can undergo AB blood transfusion
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Blood type AB lacks both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in plasma, allowing it to receive blood from any group (A, B, AB, or O) without antibody-mediated rejection. Universal acceptors can receive from all donors because their immune system won't attack any blood type antigens. Option A and C are false descriptions, and D merely restates the blood type.
