Solution
The correct option is D AB The child's blood group is ‘O’ which means there is no antigen A or B on the RBC surface. The child has to inherit the allele for O group from both its parents. Hence, all the above given combinations of parents are possible except AB, because AB individuals always contribute either A or B antigen to the offspring.
