Solution

The correct option is B Antigens are present on red blood corpuscles
Agglutination occurs if an antigen is mixed with its corresponding antibody called as isoagglutinin. This can occur when there is clumping of RBCs (of blood) in the presence of an antibody as the specific antibody agglutinates with the antigen present on the RBC.
So, the correct answer is option B.
