D Correct answer
Explanation

The correct answer is 'any blood group' because persons with blood group AB are called 'universal recipients' - they have both A and B antigens on their red blood cells and no anti-A or anti-B antibodies. This means they can safely receive blood from any blood group (A, B, AB, or O) without having a transfusion reaction.
