A Correct answer
Explanation

Type AB blood has both A and B antigens on red blood cells and no antibodies against either type in the plasma. This allows people with AB blood to receive red blood cells from any blood type (A, B, AB, or O) without having an immune reaction. Types A, B, and O all have antibodies that would attack some donor blood types.
