Solution

The correct option is D Type O
Type O blood is known as the universal donor blood type. They have no antigens on their surface but have all types of antibodies in the plasma (liquid portion of the blood). It is necessary or else the A and B antibodies in the plasma would destroy the person's red cells. Hence, the friend is able to donate his blood.
