Solution

The correct option is C A and O
A person with “A” blood group carries “A” antigen on their RBCs and anti-B antibodies in their serum; so, the mother has "A" blood group while the father has "O" blood group. A couple with A (IAIA orIAi) and O blood group can have children with A (IAIA orIAi) or O blood group only. To have a child with B or AB blood group, at least one of the parent should have one copy of IB allele. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
