Solution

The correct option is B antigens
Red blood cells have antigenic molecules present on their cell membrane, which are basically proteins and are inherited. There are two types of red blood cell antigens in human beings - A and B antigens. Blood group is determined based on whether A, B or both A and B antigens are present on the red blood cells. If neither A nor B antigens are present on the red blood cells, it results in the O blood group.
