Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
Person with blood group AB produce both antigens A and B but there are no antibodies in blood plasma i.e. neither anti-A antibody nor anti-B antibody is present. So they can take blood from any person of any blood group A, B, AB or O because due to absence of antibodies in the AB blood group, agglutination of antibody-antigen will not occur with the received blood group. Hence, both assertion and reason are true and reason is correct explanation of assertion.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
