B Correct answer
Explanation

A person with blood group AB has both A and B antigens on their red blood cells, but no anti-A or anti-B antibodies in their plasma. This means they can receive blood from any group (A, B, AB, or O) - they are 'universal recipients.' However, they can only donate to other AB individuals because their blood contains both antigens. Donating to A, B, or O would trigger antibody reactions in those recipients.
