Solution

The correct option is C Blood group O
Blood is divided into four groups A, B, AB, and O.Blood group A takes blood only from blood group A or O, B takes blood B and O, And AB can take blood from all groups so AB is called universal recipient because it has both antigens (antigen A and antigen B), and blood group O can donate blood to any blood group because it has no any antigens either A or B antigen, but it has both antibodies A and antibody B so it is called universal donor. So the recipient's blood will not react with any antigen.
So, the correct answer is option C.
